A short but informative book for data engineers:
- Cover basic concept of Data Warehouse, Datalake, Data Lakehouse, Datamesh, and Modern Data architecture (Datalake + Data warehouse)
- Go to basic open data formats such as Apache Iceberg, Apache Hudi, Delta Lake

I read few chapters only it’s a good book.

Some learning on datalake:
Big companies moved existing data to cloud i.e aws Amazon stores days in S3 buckets then you can add permission/rules and then data can be used by ai/machine learning

Datalake costs less than data warehouse, supports modern tools, framework ai/ml and let your future proof your design to scale to your growing needs

Datalake ability to store and process unstructured data.
