What are data lakes?

Data lakes are repositories for storing data that needs to be processed or accessed.

For example, when you create a data source, Griptape Cloud stores your information in a data lake bucket. Every account starts with a default bucket.

You can also upload files directly to a data lake and add them to a knowledge base. In addition, you can download assets to examine their contents, or access them directly from your structure code.

To get started, simply upload a file to your bucket, then create a data source and select the corresponding file asset.
