The lakehouse has quickly become the rising standard for data architecture. And Databricks, the inventor of the lakehouse, has been cited by Forrester as delivering a cutting-edge AI-enabled lakehouse platform at cloud scale. Get The Forrester Wave™: Data Lakehouses, Q2 2024 report to see why Databricks was named a Leader.

Data lakes represent the backbone of modern data storage, whether they’re used for analytics, #machinelearning, or #AI applications. In this blog post: https://okt.to/rFaq3m, Evan Smith unpacks the #datalake and compares it to other data technology, including databases, data warehouses, and data lakehouses. With the industry pivoting towards the next generation of open data lakehouses powered by Apache Iceberg, Delta Lake, and Hudi, understanding the power of data lakes built on cloud object storage is more important than ever. #opendatalakehouse

Data is the fuel for AI. Modern data like real-time, unstructured, and user-generated data require different solutions, which AWS provides through services like S3, Athena, and SageMaker. #aws #awscloud #cloud #amazonmachinelearning #amazonsimplestorageservices3 #architecture #artificialintelligence #awsbigdata #bestpractices #database #generativeai #storage #artificialintelligence #bigdata #datamesh #letsarchitect #machinelearning

"An increasing number of companies are operating multiple instances of single-tenant applications or expanding applications to such a scale that horizontal database-level sharding becomes essential. While there are various solutions to this complex issue—which we'll explore in future discussions—one pressing challenge remains consistent: the fragmentation of data across disparate systems."
