Reviews

[Wojtek Gawroński · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's rather a short brochure about survey results that Databricks did in cooperation with O'Reilly about the current state of Cloud Data Platforms across the companies. Then it introduces Lake House architecture, which is coined and developed by Databricks.

Not clear! Features of data lakes are not detailed explicitly. It just presents some survey results and general remarks.
