Deciphering Data Architectures: Choosing Between a Modern Data Warehouse, Data Fabric, Data Lakehouse, and Data Mesh

Data warehouse, data fabric, data lakehouse, data mesh – every vendor has an opinion and most of them want to sell you something. Deciphering Data Architectures by James Serra is the vendor-neutral guide that explains what each architecture actually is, where it fits and what it costs you.

Serra draws on years as a data architect at Microsoft to walk through ingestion, storage, modelling, governance and security, and – most usefully – the trade-offs and migration realities that decide whether a project succeeds.

What's Inside

• Guidance on data ingestion, storage, modeling, governance and security
