This technical report discusses the evolution of enterprise analytical data landscapes and the implications of adopting a hybrid lakehouse strategy. It outlines the motivations behind migrating to cloud computing, highlighting the challenges organizations face with a cloud-only approach, including unexpected costs, data latency, and vendor lock-in. The report emphasizes the importance of understanding these limitations and suggests that a hybrid strategy, which combines on-premises and cloud data management, may better meet organizational needs. It details the advantages of data lakes and data lakehouses, noting how the latter can provide the scalability of a data lake while offering the governance and ease-of-use associated with data warehouses. The report also examines the complexities of multicloud environments and the potential risks of data protection gaps. Overall, it advocates for a careful consideration of data platform architecture decisions to optimize performance and cost management in the evolving data landscape.
