What is a Real-Time Data Lake?
A data lake is a centralized data repository where structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data from a variety of sources can be stored in their raw format. Data lakes help eliminate data silos by acting as a single landing zone for data from multiple sources. But what's the difference between a traditional data lake and a real-time data lake? Some traditional data lakes use batch processing, which involves processing and analyzing a collection of data that has been stored over a specific timeframe. For example, payroll and billing systems that are handled on a weekly or monthly basis might use batch processing.
