#046: Data Warehouse vs Data Lake, explained

Jul 19, 2023

All data engineers need to understand two concepts... 

Data Warehouses & Data Lakes

They are foundational to any data architecture that you will work on.

Especially when talking about the more modern stacks. 

 

So in today's video I want to help break down, in non-technical terms, both of these.

  • Why do we have them?
  • What's the difference?

 By the end you'll feel more comfortable with the overall purpose of each.

What will you learn? 

  • Why we even have these things at all
  • The main goal of a Data Lake
  • The main goal of a Data Warehouse
  •  

Enjoy!
