Trends and Applications
In DBTA's recent webinar, The Future of Open: What's Next in Lakehouse Architecture, experts offered their perspectives on why open lakehouse architectures continue to be a popular vehicle for enabling modernization and innovation across the enterprise, examining the latest trends, tools, and emerging best practices.
Many organizations have a false sense of confidence when it comes to databases and their vulnerability, believing that if their database is hit by a ransomware attack, it will automatically cease operations to indicate an attack has taken place. Then, they can just restore the last clean version of the database, and everything will be fine.
At a time when every enterprise looks to leverage generative artificial intelligence, data sites are turning their attention to graph databases and knowledge graphs. The global graph database market size was $2.12 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow to $10.3 billion in 2032, according to estimates from Adroit Research. These databases enable data managers and analysts to model, store, and query complex and increasingly interconnected relationships between datapoints. They also are employed to construct knowledge graphs that can cut through data silos, enable semantic searches, and support chatbots and recommendation engines.

In today's data-focused world, modern organizations rely on data not only to conduct business but to plan their future. Data is the fuel for AI and machine learning techniques that drive forward-looking organizations. Data continues to drive daily transactions that drive business. Current and historical data is analyzed for patterns to help streamline operations and boost performance and cost efficiency. And that all must happen within the context of industry and governmental regulations that dictate how data must be governed and protected.
