How to stop your data lake turning into a data swamp

A Data Lake is a powerful tool for storing large volumes of multiformat, unstructured data without the need for silos. However, if not managed properly, it can quickly turn into a Data Swamp, making retrieval and analysis difficult or impossible. To prevent this, organizations should establish good metadata management, implement robust data governance policies, automate processes where possible, and maintain a strong data cleaning strategy to ensure the accuracy and reliability of stored information.
