Unified Data Platform with Lakehouse Architecture and Apache Iceberg
Tue, 22 April, 11:30 AM - 12:00 PM GMT+5:30
This session explores the evolution of data storage, from basic CSV files to the advanced capabilities of Apache Iceberg. Discover how Iceberg bridges the gap between data lakes and data warehouses. We'll delve into Iceberg's key features, including seamless schema evolution, flexible partitioning strategies, and advanced filtering techniques for optimized query performance. We will examine Iceberg's robust catalog layout, a critical element for efficient metadata management and scalable data lake operations.
Learn how Goldman Sachs' Lakehouse team is leveraging Iceberg and its REST Catalog specification to develop a next-generation data platform for better operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness. We will also cover how Iceberg gives freedom to switch query engines without requiring data rewrites and decoupling from vendor locking.
