Data ingestion costs: Where is your compute spend going?

Data ingestion costs refer to expenses associated with loading data into storage systems for processing and analysis, impacted by factors such as data volume, frequency of transfer, complexity, and fees. Ingestion can consume up to 30% of compute costs in a data warehouse. Fivetran's Managed Data Lake Service simplifies data lake management, automatically converting customer data to popular open formats before landing it in the data lake. The service covers ingestion costs as part of its pricing model, making it cost-effective for businesses. Organizations with an architecture containing one or more data warehouses stand to gain the most from moving to a data lake architecture, potentially leading to substantial savings.
