Data lakes are a tool for long term data storage. They can be implemented on-premises for use cases requiring high security or in the cloud for more accessible solutions. The Databricks runtime includes code specifically for easing the connection between spark and Data lake technologies as well as its own companion tech, Delta Lake. Delta Lake makes interacting with data in data lakes easier and more consistent but it is possible to work with data lakes without it, as we will see today.

Visualizing data helps companies interpret and analyze massive amounts of data to help them make data-driven decisions.
