    Toyota Motor NA: Lake House Architecture for Data and Analytics

    Toyota manufactures and distributes cars worldwide that are meticulously logged in vehicle data warehouses and data marts to provide insights on service checks and sales reports. Toyota migrated and modernized its on-premises vehicle data warehouse and data marts by leveraging a Lake House architecture on AWS. Data is securely migrated from the source systems on-premises to AWS using AWS Direct Connect and ingested in data integration tools running on Amazon EC2 such as Kafka, Talend, and Databricks. Data is pushed into different layers for transformation with Amazon S3, AWS Glue, and Amazon RDS. To obtain read-optimized data, data is ingested into Amazon Redshift. Amazon Redshift Spectrum and Amazon Athena are leveraged by Toyota's Data Scientists, Analysts, and Business user teams to produce self-service reports. With this Lake House architecture, Toyota has improved their time to market and eliminated the duplication of data.
