Source - MariaDB

MariaDB is a MySQL fork offering advanced features and better performance. LakeXpress ensures full compatibility with MariaDB through FastBCP.

Features:

Full MySQL compatibility
Support for advanced MariaDB features
Optimized extraction performance
Parallel processing to Parquet

Format - Apache Parquet

Parquet is the industry-standard columnar file format for analytics. LakeXpress uses FastBCP to extract data from source databases and convert it to Parquet format, ensuring optimal compression, query performance, and compatibility with all modern data platforms.

Advantages:

Columnar format optimized for analytics
Efficient compression (typically 3-10x)
Schema evolution support
Predicate pushdown for fast queries
Universal compatibility with cloud platforms
Preserves data types and precision

Cloud Stage - Microsoft OneLake

OneLake is Microsoft Fabric's unified data lake. LakeXpress stages data directly in OneLake, providing native integration with all Fabric workloads and eliminating data duplication.

Features:

Native Fabric integration
Single copy of data across all workloads
Automatic Delta Lake format
Built-in governance and security
Seamless data sharing across Fabric

Destination - BigQuery

Google BigQuery is a serverless, highly scalable data warehouse. LakeXpress loads Parquet files from GCS into BigQuery tables using native bulk loading.
