Let's talk about some specific behaviours of the Delta Format which can affect our data platform architectureData Lakehouse Architecture with Microsoft Fabric
What are Data Lakehouses? When and why should you use this design pattern? How are they different from Data Warehouses? This session will answer these questions and expand on how new architecture design patterns can help you solve some of your business problems and prepare for the future. You may have heard about Data Lakes and data warehouses, but as technology evolves, there are new design patterns like Data Lakehouses that you should take into account when building data solutions. ๐๐๐ง๐จ๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐ฝ๐๐๐- ๐๐๐๐ง๐ค๐จ๐ค๐๐ฉ ๐พ๐ค๐ข๐ข๐ช๐ฃ๐๐ฉ๐ฎ: https://bit.ly/3IAg7xT ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐๐ฃ: https://bit.ly/32tGkif ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ง๐๐ข ๐พ๐๐๐ฃ๐ฃ๐๐ก: https://t.me/PersianPBIUG ๐๐ค๐ช๐๐ช๐๐: https://bit.ly/3hk20RL Language: Persian - English
Deciphering Data Architectures
Data fabric, data lakehouse, and data mesh have recently appeared as viable alternatives to the modern data warehouse. These new architectures have solid benefits, but theyโre also surrounded by a lot of hyperbole and confusion. In this presentation I will give you a guided tour of each architecture to help you understand its pros and cons. I will also examine common data architecture concepts, including data warehouses and data lakes. Youโll learn what data lakehouses can help you achieve, and how to distinguish data mesh hype from reality. Best of all, youโll be able to determine the most appropriate data architecture for your needs. And Iโll finish with discussing Microsoftโs version of the data mesh using Microsoft Fabric. The meeting will start at 5.30pm with refreshments. The presentation will start shortly after 6pm.
