Database Engineering Open Data Lakes and Out-of-the-Box Solutions What Will Be Cool in 2022

Abstract

A closer look at three trends that will help enterprises get the most from their data. • By Dipti Borkar • December 10, 2021 Over the last year we’ve seen the rate of cloud adoption grow exponentially thanks in part to the cloud data warehouse, the cloud data lake, and the newer data lakehouse. In 2022 we’ll see the next phase of growth in the cloud -architecting for performance, the open data lake to augment the cloud data warehouse, and out-ofthe-box cloud solutions to drive innovation.

Trend #1: Database engineering is cool again! The debate about the data warehouse versus the data lake seemed to headline the past year, with a pronounced movement to the data lake. Now, in 2022, it’s time to make database engineering cool again -on the data lake. That means the database benchmarking wars will be back in action. As the performance of disaggregated query engines on data lakes meets or exceeds the performance of tightly coupled data warehouses, workloads will migrate to the
