Raw files on object storage are great for cheap retention but terrible as a system of record lakehouse architecture adds transactional tables, versioned metadata, and schema contracts on top of the same storage, turning a dumping ground into a reliable analytical platform. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/data-science-tech-brief-by-hackernoon-6367564/episodes/the-architectural-limits-of-data-lakes-and-the-rise-of-lakehouses/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/data-science-tech-brief-by-hackernoon-6367564/the-architectural-limits-of-data-lakes-and-the-rise-of-lakehouses.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
