Kimball vs Inmon vs Data Vault 2.0: Data Warehouse Architecture Guide

Every data team eventually walks into the same room.

Someone is convinced Kimball is dead and cloud storage fixes everything. Someone else is just as convinced that Inmon is the only serious enterprise architecture. A third voice slides in with "Data Vault 2.0 — hubs, links, satellites, audit-ready, future-proof." Forty minutes later nothing has been decided, six weeks later nothing has been built, and the dashboards the business asked for in Q1 are now a Q3 problem.

Here's my promise: this post will help you pick an approach the way an architect picks a structure—not like a sports fan picking a jersey.
