Читать книгу Data Lakes For Dummies - Alan R. Simon - Страница 29

Your bronze, silver, and gold zones combine to form a data pipeline. In your gold zone, you create data packages that are closely aligned with high-value, pervasive analytical needs and that will provide data-driven insights to your organization for a long time.

But what about shorter-term analytical needs or experiments that you want to run with your data? You may be building new machine learning models to predict customer behavior, optimize your supply chain, or determine new treatment plans for a hospital system’s patients. You need to experiment with different machine learning techniques, and you need actual data for your work.

Head over to the sandbox and start playing. You’ll load whatever data you need for your short-term or experimental work and do your thing. The data lake isolates the sandbox from the data pipeline, so you can do whatever you need without interfering with your organization’s primary analytical work.
