Deliver Enterprise Value with Data Lakehouse Architecture

Combine open format storage with enterprise-grade data management, ACID transactions, and sub-second analytical queries.

ACID Transactions

Ensure complete data integrity and prevent corrupt reads across concurrent batch and streaming pipelines.

Unified BI & AI/ML

Serve SQL business intelligence and machine learning training workloads directly from a single storage tier.

Decoupled Compute & Storage

Scale storage independently on low-cost cloud object stores while dynamically spinning up compute nodes.

Schema Enforcement

Enforce strict schema validation on write to guarantee high data quality while supporting schema evolution.

Real-Time Ingestion

Stream Kafka and IoT events directly into Delta/Iceberg tables with sub-second analytical availability.

Centralized Governance

Unified access control policies, data lineage tracking, and audit logging via Unity Catalog or Apache Ranger.

Zero Data Duplication

Eliminate redundant ETL syncs between raw data lakes and analytical warehouses.

Time Travel & Audit

Query historical snapshots of data for point-in-time audits, rollbacks, and reproducibility.

Data Lakehouse vs Data Warehouse: Choosing the Right Architecture

Understand how modern Data Lakehouses supersede legacy two-tier lake and warehouse setups.

Data Lake
  • Low-cost cloud object storage
  • Handles unstructured & raw data
  • No ACID transaction guarantees
  • Slow SQL query performance for BI
Data Warehouse
  • Fast SQL query response times
  • Strong ACID reliability
  • Proprietary closed storage formats
  • Expensive to scale for unstructured AI
RECOMMENDED MODERN STANDARD
Data Lakehouse
  • Open Parquet/ORC storage (Delta / Iceberg)
  • ACID transactions & schema enforcement
  • High-speed BI SQL + direct AI/ML training
  • Decoupled compute for 50% lower TCO

Common Questions About Data Lakehouses

Get clarity on transitioning from traditional data warehouses or data lakes.

What is the difference between a Data Lake and a Data Lakehouse?
A data lake stores massive amounts of raw data cheaply but lacks reliability (ACID transactions) and query performance. A Lakehouse adds a management layer (like Delta Lake or Apache Iceberg) on top of the data lake, bringing warehouse-level reliability, indexing, and fast querying directly to low-cost cloud storage.
Do I need to replace my existing Data Warehouse completely?
Not necessarily. Many organizations adopt a hybrid approach, using a Lakehouse for massive scalable ML/AI workloads and heavy analytics, while keeping a smaller traditional warehouse for highly concurrent, low-latency BI dashboards. However, Lakehouses are increasingly capable of handling both.
How does a Lakehouse reduce costs?
It eliminates the need to maintain two separate systems (a data lake and a data warehouse) and prevents costly data duplication. You store data once in cheap object storage (like AWS S3 or Azure ADLS) and use flexible compute engines to query it directly, cutting down expensive proprietary database storage fees.
What technologies do you use for Lakehouse architecture?
We are technology agnostic but highly experienced in implementing Databricks (Delta Lake), Snowflake (Iceberg tables), AWS EMR, Google Cloud Dataproc, and open-source Apache Iceberg or Apache Hudi, depending on your existing cloud ecosystem.
