I. Lakehouse Architecture and Open Table Formats

Core Foundation: Transactional Table Formats

  • Apache Iceberg: Launched by Netflix, ETL performance improved 10x
  • Delta Lake: Released by Databricks, supports MERGE INTO syntax
  • Apache Hudi: Used by Uber, supports CDC

Architecture Advantages

  • Cost efficiency: 70% storage cost savings compared to traditional data warehouses
  • Flexibility: Supports structured/semi-structured/unstructured data
  • Real-time capability: Batch-stream unified processing with second-level latency

II. Data Mesh

Core Principles

  1. Domain-oriented data ownership: Divide data by business domain
  2. Data as a product: Ensure data quality and documentation completeness
  3. Self-serve data platform: Unified infrastructure platform
  4. Federated computational governance: Establish governance framework while maintaining autonomy

Applicable Scenarios

  • Large enterprise groups with complex business lines
  • Rapidly expanding technology companies
  • Traditional enterprises undergoing digital transformation

III. Apache Beam

Core Design Philosophy
