Explore the Microsoft Fabric lakehouse
A lakehouse presents as a database and is built on top of a data lake using Delta format tables. Lakehouses combine the SQL-based analytical capabilities of a relational data warehouse and the flexibility and scalability of a data lake. Lakehouses store all data formats and can be used with various analytics tools and programming languages. As cloud-based solutions, lakehouses can scale automatically and provide high availability and disaster recovery.
Some benefits of a lakehouse include:
- Lakehouses use Spark and SQL engines to process large-scale data and support machine learning or predictive modeling analytics.
- Lakehouse data is organized in a schema-on-read format, which means you define the schema as needed rather than having a predefined schema.
- Lakehouses support ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) transactions through Delta Lake formatted tables for data consistency and integrity.
- Lakehouses are a single location for data engineers, data scientists, and data analysts to access and use data.
A lakehouse is a great option if you want a scalable analytics solution that maintains data consistency. It's important to evaluate your specific requirements to determine which solution is the best fit.
