“The serving layer is where data is stored for consumption by processing services. In this course you ll explore dimensional data modeling and hierarchies. You ll learn how to define slowly changing dimensions and temporal design within databases. Then you ll learn about the differences between the star and snowflake schemas as well as how to design a star schema. Next you ll examine incremental data loading for stream processing and the options for analytical data stores.
