This is a guide to get you started working with Qlik Compose. 

Overview of Compose

Qlik Compose provides an all-in-one purpose-built automation solution for creating an agile data warehouse and/or ingesting data from multiple sources to your data lake for further downstream processing. To this end, Qlik Compose offers two project types: Data Warehouse and Data Lake.

Data Warehouse Architecture: Qlik Compose data warehouse projects allows you to automate these traditionally manual, repetitive data warehouse tasks: design, development, testing, deployment, operations, impact analysis, and change management.

Data Lake Architecture: Data lake projects allow you to automate your data pipelines and create analytics-ready data sets.
