2. Introduction
• A data lake is a central data repository that allows us to store all of our
structured and unstructured data on a large scale. You may run different
types of analytics, from dashboards and visualizations to big data
processing, real-time analytics, and machine learning to help you make
better decisions without first structuring your data.
• A data lake uses a flat design to store data, generally in files or object
storage, as opposed to a traditional data warehouse, which stores data in
hierarchical dimensions and tables. Users now have more options for
managing, storing, and using their data.
3. Delta Lake
What is Delta Lake?
Delta Lake is an open format storage layer
that delivers reliability, security and
performance on your data lake — for
both streaming and batch operations. By
replacing data silos with a single home for
structured, semi-structured and
unstructured data, Delta Lake is the
foundation of a cost-effective, highly
scalable lakehouse.
4. High-quality, reliable data
• Deliver a reliable single source of truth
for all of your data, including real-
time streams, so your data teams are
always working with the most current
data. With support for ACID
transactions and schema enforcement,
Delta Lake provides the reliability that
traditional data lakes lack. This enables
you to scale reliable data insights
throughout the organization and run
analytics and other data projects
directly on your data lake — for up
to 50x faster time-to-insight.
