Welcome to the Webinar Series: Towards Data Lakehouse Architecture
In federated data architectures, balancing team autonomy with accountability is a persistent challenge. In this on-demand webinar recording, ASML and Xebia share how they addressed this challenge by introducing a pragmatic governance model built on Databricks System Tables and powered by Lakewatch.
Recorded live during a joint presentation at GoDataFest, this session shows how raw platform telemetry is transformed into actionable governance scorecards for cost efficiency, operational excellence, and best-practice adoption—without slowing down domain teams.
You’ll learn how this approach:
- Enables centralized governance while preserving domain ownership
- Provides clear, data-driven insights into platform usage, cost, and quality
- Eliminates governance bottlenecks through automation and transparency
- Turns governance from a control mechanism into an enabler for scale
