In the next five years, we are poised to witness a significant transformation towards modern data lake architecture across industries. This shift is driven by an urgent need for a unified, flexible, and scalable data management solution. Such a solution must address the challenges of siloed data environments and the increasing complexity of data sources while balancing the benefits of data mesh principles with centralized governance and semantic consistency.

In this talk, we will cover latest trends and benefits in this field, as well as usage of open formats like Iceberg, lower costs of data movement, & multiple engines to support different workloads that ultimately helps in getting into a single source of truth.
