Frequently Asked Questions
Data Engineering Consulting, Answered
What is Data Engineering?
Data Engineering is the discipline of designing, building and maintaining the systems and pipelines that collect, store, transform and deliver data across an organization, forming the foundation for analytics, reporting and Artificial Intelligence.
What is the difference between a Data Lake and a Data Warehouse?
A data lake stores structured and unstructured data in its raw form at scale, while a data warehouse stores modeled, curated data optimized for reporting and analytics. Many organizations use both together.
What is a Data Lakehouse?
A data lakehouse combines the scalability and flexibility of a data lake with the structure and performance of a data warehouse, allowing organizations to support both raw data storage and high-performance analytics on a single platform.
How does Data Engineering support AI?
AI models depend on high-quality, well-governed, accessible data. Data Engineering builds the pipelines, storage and preparation processes, including feature engineering and vector databases, that make enterprise data usable for machine learning and generative AI.
What is ETL?
ETL stands for Extract, Transform, Load. Data is extracted from source systems, transformed into a consistent structure, and loaded into a target platform such as a data warehouse.
What is ELT?
ELT stands for Extract, Load, Transform. Data is extracted and loaded into the target platform first, then transformed there, taking advantage of the scalability of modern cloud data platforms.
What is Data Governance?
Data Governance is the framework of policies, ownership, stewardship and controls that ensure enterprise data is accurate, secure, compliant and consistently defined across the organization.
