Why does a warehouse exist when a lakehouse can do all & more?

Apr '24 • DP-600

Hey Will,

I've recently completed a lot of the learning path for DP-600 & feel that MS push the concept of a lakehouse recurrently. My question to you - why do data warehouses still exist at all, if the lakehouse can fulfill the same tasks and more? Is it a cost thing? Transaction store thing? A lot of the content in this blog seemed pretty dated 😅
