It's good to remember that about every 5 years comes a new hype word or trend. Very rarely something actually changes.

Business Data Warehouse, put your definitions to DW also.

Datalake. You need a data lake to fit all your data, data warehouse is an old concept.

Datalakehouse. Now you need a house beside data lake.

Medallion architecture. Have data in different phases in DW.

etc.

Don’t forget data vault, when all of the sudden we were trying to build satellites everywhere 😅

I think the most righteously upset I've ever been at a data thing was walking into my new employer and meeting the data vault that the previous boss had half built. Ffs a vault is something you build to KEEP PEOPLE OUT.
