The original assumptions and architectural choices were no longer viable. We introduce a caching mechanism in the API gateway layer, allowing us to offload processing from singleton leader elected controllers without giving up strict data consistency and guarantees clients observe. How do I know that my cache is up to date?

While data lakes and data warehousing architectures are commonly used modes for storing and analyzing data, a data lakehouse is an efficient third way to store and analyze data that unifies the two architectures while preserving the benefits of both. Unlike data warehouses, however, data is not transformed before landing in storage.

Last week we looked at a function shipping solution to the problem; Cloudburst uses the more common data shipping to bring data to caches next to function runtimes (though you could also make a case that the scheduling algorithm placing function execution in locations where the data is cached a flavour of function-shipping too).

That’s mapping applications to the specific architectural choices. The third wing of the architecture piece is the “domain specific system-on-chip.” That means multiple data indirections mean multiple cache misses. They are very expensive. This is where your performance goes.
