#046: Data Warehouse vs Data Lake, explained
Jul 19, 2023All 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!
