Best for

  • Designing medallion architecture for unified batch/streaming analytics platforms
  • Selecting between Delta Lake, Iceberg, and Hudi for multi-engine data workloads
  • Migrating from separate data lake + warehouse to unified lakehouse architecture
  • Implementing schema evolution strategies for production table formats
  • Building time travel and versioning capabilities for data recovery workflows

What you'll get

  • Comprehensive architecture decision matrix comparing table formats with specific use case recommendations and technical trade-offs
  • Detailed medallion layer specifications with partitioning strategies, retention policies, and data flow patterns
  • Schema evolution playbook with format-specific migration scripts and backward compatibility patterns
Not designed for ↓
  • ×Traditional data warehouse modeling without open table formats
  • ×Real-time streaming processing without storage layer considerations
  • ×Basic ETL pipeline design without lakehouse-specific optimizations
  • ×Cloud storage optimization without table format considerations
Expects

Current data architecture details, workload patterns, engine ecosystem, and specific lakehouse requirements including performance, governance, and multi-engine compatibility needs.

Returns

Detailed lakehouse architecture blueprint with table format selection rationale, medallion layer design, schema evolution strategy, and implementation roadmap with specific configurations.
