In the digital era, organizations face challenges in managing vast volumes of unstructured or semi-structured data. Data lakes, a centralized repository, offer a solution for this by storing organized and unstructured raw data at any scale. These open platforms enable efficient storage, processing, and analysis without sacrificing speed or performance. Effective management requires careful planning and design, considering factors like data quality, governance, security, and scalability. This lecture will introduce what data is and how it is used in industry.
