The Modern Data Stack Through ‘The Gervais Principle’
<p>Go and Google the term “Modern Data Stack” and search through images. What do you see? It’s one big slew of architecture diagram after architecture diagram, with data flowing throughout various systems from <strong>the left to the right </strong>in most<strong>, </strong>much sound and fury signifying nothing other than somewhere between 5 and 100 different vendor solutions to purchase to help move data around.</p>
<p>Fundamentally the left-to-right flow is flawed as it is a dressed up back-of-napkin representation of technology flows, not decision flows or capital allocation flows within organizations.</p>
<p>Ultimately the Modern Data Stack diagram is typically a vendor or VC firm or staff augmentation firm’s view of whatever is most economically beneficial for them at present.</p>
