Tuesday – Learnings: How Blockchain Benefits a Data Vault Solution

First of all, what do we call a Blockchain?

Blockchain is not bitcoin, it is not NFT… Blockchain is an underlying data structure, the architecture that can support many things (including crypto-currencies!)

The Blockchain is a decentralized system that makes it possible to exchange data in a secure manner, to share this information in an open ledger, and to keep the history of transactions and data in a permanent, immutable and time-stamped way.

Hmmmm, … “to keep the history of transactions”, “data in a permanent, immutable and time-stamped way”… that sounds familiar to an EDWH designer.

If you consider also the fact that only read/write (insert) actions are allowed in a blockchain architecture, you should say:

“Hum, why not using a blockchain architecture to build an EDWH?”
“What could Blockchain bring to help in building the EDWH?”
We have developed a POC! Join us as we present our learnings – the pros and the limitations.
