Data storage is a fundamental aspect of Data Engineering, influencing processes such as
- (occurring after Data Ingestion)
- Data Transformation
- Querying
- data management.
Storing the Data Transformation data in a database or Data Warehouse for easy access and analysis.
Types of Storage
Data storage encompasses various methods and technologies for storing, retrieving, and managing data. The choice of storage method significantly impacts data retrieval efficiency and consistency
