Data Lake Sunrise

A data lake is a store that keeps large volumes of raw data in its original form, structured or not, so it can be shaped later for different uses.

A data lake at sunrise is potential in its least processed form: raw files, unfinished schemas, sources that arrived overnight from systems nobody fully documented. Data Lake Sunrise is the moment before modeling imposes order.

The promise of a lake is keeping everything in its original shape so later questions stay answerable. The discipline is knowing what landed, when, and from where. Put it on as you survey the new arrivals and decide which ones deserve a schema.
