Memo: Twitch has leveraged Views in their Data Lake to enhance data agility, minimize downtime, and streamline development workflows. By utilizing Views as interfaces to underlying data tables, they've enabled seamless schema modifications, such as column renames and VARCHAR resizing, without necessitating data reprocessing. This approach has facilitated rapid responses to data quality issues and supported efficient ETL processes, contributing to a scalable and adaptable data infrastructure.
