Lakehouse
A lakehouse keeps data in open formats on low-cost cloud storage and adds the management features of a data warehouse on top, such as tables, transactions and access control. One copy of the data can then serve reporting, data engineering and machine learning. It is an architecture pattern, not a single product.
