Course Overview

This advanced practical course provides a structured understanding of Data Lake and Lakehouse architectures and their role in modern enterprise data platforms. It focuses on designing scalable environments capable of storing, processing, governing, and analysing large volumes of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data. Participants will examine the architectural principles behind Data Lakes and Lakehouses, including data ingestion, storage layers, metadata management, data processing, security, governance, data quality, and analytical access. The programme emphasizes architectural decisions based on organizational requirements rather than technology selection alone. The course also explores how Lakehouse architectures combine the scalability and flexibility of Data Lakes with the reliability, governance, and analytical capabilities traditionally associated with data warehouses. Participants will evaluate different architectural patterns and understand how to support batch, streaming, business intelligence, data science, and machine learning workloads. Through practical scenarios, participants will design conceptual architectures, define data flows, identify governance requirements, address security and performance considerations, and develop implementation approaches for enterprise Data Lake and Lakehouse environments.

Learning Objectives

  • Analyse the principles and business value of Data Lake and Lakehouse architectures.
  • Distinguish between Data Lakes, Data Warehouses, and Lakehouse platforms.
  • Evaluate architectural components required for scalable data platforms.
  • Design data ingestion and integration approaches for diverse data sources.
  • Develop appropriate storage and data organization strategies.
  • Apply concepts for batch and streaming data processing.
  • Evaluate metadata, cataloguing, lineage, and data discovery requirements.
  • Design security, access control, and governance mechanisms.
  • Address data quality, lifecycle management, and operational challenges.
  • Evaluate performance, scalability, reliability, and cost considerations.
  • Integrate Data Lake and Lakehouse architectures with analytics, business intelligence, and machine learning workloads.
  • Develop practical architecture and implementation roadmaps aligned with organizational requirements.

Who Should Attend

This course is designed for Data Architects, Data Engineers, Solution Architects, Data Platform Engineers, Cloud Architects, Analytics Managers, Data Scientists, and IT professionals involved in enterprise data platform design and implementation. It is also suitable for managers and specialists responsible for data governance, business intelligence, digital transformation, analytics, cloud infrastructure, data management, and enterprise technology strategy. The programme is particularly relevant to organizations modernizing their data infrastructure, consolidating diverse data sources, developing advanced analytics capabilities, or moving from traditional warehouse-centric environments toward scalable modern data architectures.

  • Identify the major architectural components of an enterprise data platform.
  • Design scalable data ingestion and integration patterns.
  • Structure data storage according to analytical and operational requirements.
  • Define suitable approaches for batch and streaming data processing.
  • Establish metadata, cataloguing, lineage, and data discovery practices.
  • Design appropriate security, access, and governance controls.
  • Identify and address data quality and lifecycle management challenges.
  • Evaluate architectural options based on performance, scalability, reliability, and cost.
  • Integrate Lakehouse environments with analytics, business intelligence, data science, and machine learning.
  • Develop a practical target architecture and implementation roadmap for a selected organizational use case.
