Summary

Fivetran has introduced its Managed Data Lake Service, designed to automate and streamline data lake management, allowing users to focus on leveraging their data for analytics, machine learning, and AI. The service simplifies tasks such as data ingestion, quality, schema changes, and performance optimization, transforming data lakes into dynamic, efficient, and governed environments. It automatically integrates data from over 500 sources, normalizes, compacts, and deduplicates it, providing features typical of data warehouses on the data lake. Fivetran Managed Data Lake Service is currently available on Amazon S3, Azure Data Lake Storage, and Microsoft OneLake, with key features including automated data integration, standardization on open table formats, continuous maintenance, and robust governance tools. The service offers a free usage promotion from June through August for new customers to try it out.
