The GigaOm report compares the cost of moving data into a data lake using the Fivetran Managed Data Lake Service with the cost of moving data into a traditional data warehouse. The primary finding is that a data lake architecture results in substantial cost savings of 77% to 95%. This is due to modern data lakes offering interoperability, governance capabilities, and reduced vendor lock-in compared to traditional data warehouses. The report also highlights the benefits of adopting a modern data lake, including automated governance, schema migration, table maintenance, and query-ready data. Fivetran's Managed Data Lake Service eases adoption by providing a fully managed service that automates data integration, open table format conversion, and data lake management, while offering unparalleled convenience and peace of mind.
