The 2020s have seen the evolution of the data warehouse into a data lakehouse architecture. This approach helps users meet demanding new requirements for artificial intelligence and data science while continuing to support traditional business intelligence cost-effectively. These new workloads are characterized by greater data variety and greater data velocity. These growing requirements are essential to the business strategies that now so often rely on data, analytics, and AI for competitive advantage.

In this masterclass, you will learn about the major cloud data platforms, their ability to support the modern data lakehouse, their key architectural features, and what makes them different from one another. This course will help you understand how these architectural differences influence performance, operating cost, scalability, and ease of development for these new analytic data requirements. We will also discuss open table formats and how they are changing lakehouse architectures.

Scaling for data analytics in the cloud is often problematic and extremely costly. Increasing use of generative AI will place yet heavier workloads on the data platform and amplify these scalability challenges. Insight into these platform architectures is therefore the key to selecting the best platform for your workloads and avoiding catastrophic outcomes.
