This guide compares data lake and cloud data warehouse architectures, highlighting their differences in data storage, query performance, governance, and cost. Data lakes excel at storing raw, multi-format data for machine learning and advanced analytics due to their schema-on-read approach and low-cost object storage. Cloud data warehouses, conversely, are optimized for structured data and high-concurrency SQL queries for business intelligence with a schema-on-write approach. Data lakehouses are presented as a solution that combines the benefits of both, offering ACID transactions and BI-grade performance on lake storage. AI
IMPACT Provides guidance on choosing data architectures that support AI and machine learning workloads.
