Warehouse & Lakehouse

A Single Source of Truth Your Whole Organization Can Trust

We architect and implement modern data warehouses and lakehouses on Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, or Redshift, delivering clean, governed data that business users actually trust and use.

Cloud Data Warehouse Design

A well-designed data warehouse is the foundation of every analytics program. We design for query performance, cost efficiency, and long-term maintainability.

Get Started
  • Snowflake, BigQuery, and Redshift implementation
  • Dimensional modeling: star and snowflake schemas
  • Slowly changing dimension (SCD) implementation
  • Semantic layer and business metrics definitions
  • Role-based access control and data governance

Data Lakehouse Architecture

The lakehouse pattern combines the flexibility of a data lake with the performance and governance of a warehouse — enabling both analytics and ML on the same platform.

Get Started
  • Databricks Delta Lake and Unity Catalog implementation
  • Medallion architecture: bronze, silver, gold layers
  • Apache Iceberg and Delta format for ACID transactions
  • Unified platform for SQL analytics and ML workloads
  • Photon engine optimization for sub-second query performance

Data Modeling & Semantic Layer

Great data architecture means nothing if analysts can't find and understand the data. We build semantic layers that translate raw tables into business-meaningful concepts.

Get Started
  • dbt semantic layer with reusable metrics definitions
  • Looker LookML semantic model development
  • Cube.dev headless BI semantic layer
  • Business glossary and data dictionary
  • Self-service analytics enablement for business users

Cost Optimization & Governance

Cloud data warehouses can become expensive quickly without proper cost controls. We implement FinOps practices specific to data platforms.

Get Started
  • Query optimization reducing compute costs 30–50%
  • Clustering, partitioning, and materialization strategy
  • Cost monitoring dashboards by team and workload
  • Automated suspension of idle warehouses and clusters
  • Storage tiering for infrequently accessed historical data

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our Warehouse & Lakehouse services.

Snowflake is the most accessible for pure SQL analytics teams and has the best data sharing features. Databricks is the best choice if you need both analytics and ML on a unified platform. BigQuery is ideal for GCP-native organizations and variable workloads since it's serverless. We help you evaluate based on your team's skills, workload patterns, and existing cloud.

A lakehouse combines the raw storage flexibility of a data lake with the query performance and governance of a warehouse. You need it if you have ML workloads that require access to raw or semi-structured data alongside BI analytics, or if you need to store petabytes of data cost-efficiently. For pure BI use cases, a traditional warehouse is simpler.

We design and execute historical data loads as part of every implementation, typically loading full history first, validating against source systems, then switching to incremental loads. For large volumes, we parallelize loading across multiple threads.

Medallion architecture organizes data into three layers: Bronze (raw, unmodified source data), Silver (cleaned and conformed), and Gold (business-ready aggregates and metrics). It's the standard pattern for Databricks Delta Lake and increasingly used in other platforms too.
