The name is easy to poke fun at, but I think it’s a real problem. A lot of companies use data lakes to store data and warehouses to serve BI to tools like Tableau or PowerBI. They then up copying data between the two.

Querying a lake directly and having transactions, governance etc against one set of data (a data Lakehouse) can really simplify the stack and take out cost.

Ah, so the house part comes from warehouse. Not obvious to say the least.
