Data Questions Answered is the first YouTube Shorts series I’ve launched aimed at breaking down some of the big (and sometimes controversial) questions in the data world. Each video is under 60 seconds, offering fast, clear answers without the jargon. Whether you’re new to data or just need a quick refresher, this series is designed to cut through the noise and get straight to the point.
Here’s what I’ve covered so far:
-Is Azure Synapse dead? A straight answer to a question that’s been doing the rounds — and what it means for your architecture choices.
-What is the Medallion Architecture? A fast breakdown of this layered data design pattern and why it’s stuck around in modern lakehouse setups.
-What is a Data Lakehouse? A simplified explanation of what happens when you blend the best of data lakes and warehouses.
-Is Data Mesh dead? A look at whether the hype has faded — or if the core ideas of Data Mesh still hold value today.
-What is Delta Lake? A quick overview of the open format that powers many modern data platforms (including Fabric and Databricks).
-Batch vs Streaming The key differences between the two, and how to know which approach fits your workload.
The full series is available on my YouTube channel, and I’m always open to suggestions for more questions to tackle — if there’s something on your mind, let me know!
