What is Cloud Data Platform?

A Cloud Data Platform is a suite of integrated cloud-based services designed for storing, processing, analyzing, and visualizing data. It typically includes data warehousing, data lakes, data integration, big data processing, and business intelligence tools. It's commonly used for building scalable and cost-effective data solutions for analytics, reporting, and data-driven decision-making. Some platforms like Azure Synapse also unify data integration, enterprise data warehousing, and big data analytics.
