Welcome to the Webinar Series: Towards Data Lakehouse Architecture
The topic for the third webinar of the TDLA series is: Data Lakehouse Storage Layer - openness, interoperability, and performance.
Open-source technologies have shaped the modern data ecosystem, with files like Apache Parquet, table formats like Apache Iceberg and Delta Lake, and query engines such as Apache Spark and Apache Flink, now widely recognized as industry standards. But what about the core of the Open Data Lakehouse - the data catalog? Are there production-ready open-source projects that we can confidently rely on when building a platform?
In this webinar, we will break down the concept of a data catalog, highlight emerging open-source projects that are gaining momentum, and explore whether they are ready to serve as the backbone of a modern data platform.
During the webinar, you will find out:
- What is a data catalog in the context of a Data Lakehouse?
- What are the key features and main components of it?
- What are the most popular open-source examples of data catalogs?
- What is the role of data catalogs in data management?
- How does the data catalog secure access to data?
When: October 07, 15:00 CEST; 14:00 BST; 09:00 EDT

Toward Data Lakehouse Architecture
Data Lakehouse seems to be a new buzzword; everyone wants it, but does everyone need it? In many cases, Data Lakehouse will be a perfect solution, but not always, and not just any Data Lakehouse. In this Webinar Series, we want to get closer to the Data Lakehouse concept, what problems it addresses, and how to design its architecture to make it the holy grail.
