Abstract

This paper looks at data Lakehouse architectures as a game changer in enterprise data infrastructure, focusing on Apache Iceberg storage. We cover the full capabilities of these systems for data throughout its life cycle – from ingest to visualization—and how machine learning can be used to enhance that. We also look at execution frameworks based on directed acyclic graphs and the privacy implications of those workflows. Our results show this integrated approach is better for operational efficiency, analytical flexibility, and compliance than traditional, siloed architectures.
