Title: Data Lakehouse, Data Mesh, and Data Fabric (data architecture soup!)
Speaker: James Serra
Abstract:
So many buzzwords of late: Data Lakehouse, Data Mesh, and Data Fabric. What do all these terms mean and how do they compare to a modern data warehouse?
In this session, I’ll cover all of them in detail and compare the pros and cons of each. They all may sound great in theory, but I’ll dig into the concerns you need to be aware of before taking the plunge. I’ll also include use cases so you can see what approach will work best for your big data needs. In addition, I’ll discuss the Microsoft version of the data mesh.

I have been at times a permanent employee, consultant, contractor, and owner of my own business. All these experiences along with continuous learning have helped me to develop many successful data warehouse and BI projects.
