This presentation introduces key data management systems, including transactional databases (OLTP), data warehouses, data lakes, and lakehouses. It explains the purpose and functionality of each system, highlighting how they address different data needs. It will also explore how open table formats such as Delta Lake, Apache Iceberg, and Apache Hudi enable the lakehouse model, combining the strengths of data warehouses and data lakes.

Sean Youn is a Senior Solutions Engineer at Databricks. He has been working in the Data Engineering/Architecture space for 4 years focused on building data engineering use cases and cloud data platforms to enable analytics and other data use cases.
