Summary
As we conclude our exploration of data storage technologies and architectures in this chapter, we hope you now have a firm understanding of the intricacies of various data storage options, their respective advantages, and their potential drawbacks. We also delved into the concept of the lakehouse architecture and its various stages and discussed how this can be implemented practically in a real-life scenario.
We believe that this foundation in data storage technologies and architecture is critical for any data professional to make informed decisions about how to structure, manage, and optimize their data assets. The effective use of data storage technologies is not just about storing data efficiently; it’s about making the data accessible, usable, and meaningful.
Looking ahead, we will be transitioning into a new yet interconnected topic in Chapter 7, Data Ingestion and Storage Strategies. Now that we have a solid understanding of the “where” in terms...
