The Future Is Open – The Rise of the Cloud Data Lake
The rise of cloud data lake storage (e.g., S3, ADLS) as the default bit bucket in the cloud, combined with the infinite supply and elasticity of cloud compute (e.g., EC2, Azure VMs), has ushered in a new era in data analytics architectures. In this new world, data can be stored and managed in open source file and table formats, such as Apache Parquet and Apache Iceberg, and accessed by best-of-breed elastic compute engines such as Dremio, Databricks and EMR. As a result, companies can now avoid becoming locked into monolithic systems such as cloud data warehouses and Hadoop distributions, and instead enjoy the flexibility of using the best of breed technologies of today and tomorrow. In this session we explore these secular trends and the building blocks that have come together to enable this new open architect.
