Field notes from the road.
Writing from the people building Causeway: on contracts, lineage, governance, and the long work of paving a path our creators can actually walk.
Dive into Caspian: understanding the modern data lake concept
Organizations generate data at accelerating rates and need robust systems to store, manage, and analyze it. Caspian is an illustrative concept for what a modern data lake looks like when it is built to last.
The best of both worlds: the rise of the lakehouse
Data lakes stored cheap, diverse data. Warehouses delivered the structure and performance analytics demanded. The lakehouse architecture merges both into a single platform without forcing a trade.
Beyond the banks: activating your data lake with Lakeshore Applications
Storing data delivers no value on its own. Lakeshore Applications operate at the perimeter of your data lake, converting stored bytes into decisions, analytics, and product surfaces.
Beyond basic files: why a lakehouse contract beats a CSV on a share drive
Shared folders have carried us this far. They will not carry us any further. A case for contract-first datasets as the new default unit of work.
Semantic lineage over the lake: tracing meaning, not bytes
Bytes-level lineage lies. Here is how Causeway reconstructs intent across dbt models, Snowflake views, and downstream metrics.
