New DW Concepts
Cloud Data Warehousing: With the increasing popularity of cloud computing, cloud data warehousing has become a popular concept. It involves storing data in a cloud-based rather than an on-premise data warehouse. This allows for greater scalability, flexibility, and cost savings.
Examples: Databricks, Snowflake, Azure Synapse, and so on.
Data Virtualization: Data virtualization is a technique that allows data to be accessed and integrated from multiple sources without the need for physical data movement or replication. This can help reduce data redundancy and improve data consistency.
Self-Service BI: Self-service BI allows business users to access and analyze data without relying on IT or data analysts. This concept has become popular with user-friendly data visualization tools enabling users to create reports and dashboards.
Big Data Analytics: Big data analytics involves using advanced analytics techniques to analyze large and complex datasets. This requires specialized tools and technologies, such as Hadoop and Spark, to process and analyze large volumes of data.
Data Governance: Data governance involves establishing policies, standards, and procedures for managing data assets. This helps ensure data accuracy, consistency, and security and that data is used to align with organizational goals and objectives.
Delta Sharing: With Delta Sharing, organizations can share their data with partners, customers, and other stakeholders without having to move or copy the data. This can help reduce data duplication and improve data governance while allowing for more collaborative and agile data sharing.
Overall, these new data warehousing concepts are focused on improving the speed, flexibility, and accessibility of data and ensuring that data is used in a way that supports organizational objectives.
DataOps: DataOps is a methodology that emphasizes collaboration, automation, and monitoring to improve the speed and quality of data analytics. It combines DevOps and agile methods to create a more efficient and streamlined data pipeline.
Data Mesh: Data Mesh is an architectural approach emphasizing decentralization and domain-driven data architecture design. It involves breaking down data silos and creating a more flexible and scalable data architecture that aligns with business needs.
Augmented Analytics: Augmented analytics is a technique that uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to automate data preparation, insight generation, and insight sharing. It aims to improve the speed and accuracy of data analytics while reducing the reliance on data scientists and analysts.
Real-time Data Warehousing: Real-time data warehousing involves using streaming data technologies like Apache Kafka to capture and process data in real-time. This enables organizations to analyze and act on data in real-time rather than waiting for batch processing cycles.
Data Privacy and Ethics: Data privacy and ethics are becoming increasingly important in data warehousing and analytics. Organizations focus on ensuring that data is collected, stored, and used ethically and responsibly and that data privacy regulations, such as GDPR and CCPA, are followed.
These are just a few new data warehousing concepts emerging in response to the changing data landscape. As data volumes continue to grow and technologies continue to evolve, we can expect to see continued innovation in data warehousing and analytics.
