Database: Delta Lake or PostgreSQL

NoviKamayana

Hey all,

I am searching for a non-political answer to my database questions. Please know that I am a data newbie and litteraly do not know anything about this topic, but I want to learn, so please be gentle. 🙂 

Some context: I am working for an OEM that is currently trying to establish a somewhat data-driven enterprise. Currently we are running to data warehouse, which seems counterintuitive to me (e.g. due to increase consumption of resources). For one we have Delta Lake and we also run our data on a PostgreSQL server. There are a lot of discussions between our Data and Tech team. The data team is defending the usage of Delta Lake and our Tech team is defending the usage of PostgreSQL servers. Enter the newbie: i would like to understand which of the two concepts (?) make more sense in establishing a data-driven enterprise that aims for ML, AI-driven use cases and working with our large customers that are more and more developing in a direction of data lakes. 

Please help me understand whether our current approach makes sense?

Thank youuuu
