Historically, database technologies came with their data and compute capabilities coupled. If you wanted to use the query capabilities of a specific database, you had to copy/move the data into that database. This all changed with Data Lakes and Lakehouses.
Lakehouses are basically Data Warehouses built on top of Data Lakes using primarily Spark-based data processing technologies. They make the data processing, reporting, and analytics a breeze, but there’s nothing groundbreaking about them.
Delta Lake has been an absolute pleasure to work with for the last couple of years, and it solved plenty of ongoing issues with data lakes using the Delta file format. Now it becomes more powerful in its third version and evolution.
