Data Lake Como, Not Data Lake Chaos
Too many data lakes become abyssal: dark, cold, and intimidating places where data goes in and is rarely trusted or used again.
A well-designed data lake should feel more like an oasis. A place of clarity, structure, and reassurance. Clean shorelines (schemas), clear water (data quality), and visible paths beneath the surface (lineage, metadata, and governance), and most importantly, a beautify view for stakeholders (lakefront Italian villas). When teams trust the lake, they stop hoarding spreadsheets and start building insights.
The goal isn’t just to store more data. It’s to create a system people feel confident returning to. My family lives not far from Lake Como and this is one of my dream locations. It is a place for my soul to rest and at the same time, inspire.
