    This isn't quite fair. The problem is that JavaScript expertise is still volatile. It is a use it or lose it skill. It quickly becomes alien unless you stay on the threadmill and k…

    This is exactly right. The lakehouse is a custom data warehouse you can build out of these cloud primitives to suit the specific data needs of an organisation. Think of it as a dat…
