Not all datasets in a large warehouse is required at real or near real time. But all datasets must be accurate. So, identifying and applying appropriate ETL or ELT strategies, and designing leveraging cheap storage with a good mix of data quality checks and alerts should get the job done. Clustering/indexing/partitioning would help with the speed of data access. Architecting large flat tables,normalized tables or hybrid, depending on the usage ,type of data and access needs would greatly help with the speed of data retrieval and join performance.

Balancing speed and accuracy is indeed a constant challenge in data warehousing. I would add these strategies to the mix: 1. Data Quality Management: Establish a robust data quality management framework to monitor and improve data quality. 2. Data Profiling: Perform regular data profiling to identify and address data inconsistencies and anomalies. 3. Data Lineage: Track the origin and transformation of data to ensure its accuracy and traceability. 4. Data Virtualization: Consider using data virtualization to provide real-time access to data without compromising performance. By combining these approaches with a strong data governance framework, we can effectively balance speed and accuracy in our data warehousing initiatives.

Balancing speed and accuracy in data warehousing can be tricky but for starters we can build data pipelines using 3 step approach 1. Prioritize important datasets for stricter checks like sampling for less critical ones. - Split large datasets into smaller chunks (partitions) to speed things up. 2. Use incremental loads to process only what’s changed instead of processing whole data set. - Automate as much as possible to catch errors quickly without extra effort. 3. Simplify your data models (e.g., star schemas) for faster queries. - Optimize queries with indexing and caching to keep things running smoothly while staying accurate.

• Automate data validation with SQL, Python, ensuring quality checks without delays. • Prioritize critical datasets to focus resources on accuracy for impactful decisions. • Optimize transformations using Azure Databricks and PySpark for fast, distributed processing. • Use Delta Lake to maintain scalability and transaction reliability. • Continuously review and refine ETL pipelines to adapt and enhance performance. • Collaborate with stakeholders to align processes with business goals and ensure timely, accurate data delivery.

Technical Constraints Infrastructure: Does your current architecture support low-latency queries without compromising data integrity? Data Volume: Large-scale systems may require trade-offs to handle velocity and variety efficiently. Resource Allocation: Balancing resources between computational power for speed and quality control mechanisms for accuracy.

In general, there is no balance between speed and accuracy in data warehousing: data has to be accurate. Data can be partitioned, aggregated or indexed to increase query speed.
