With the potential to revolutionize decision-making, enhance operational efficiency, and provide a competitive edge, effective data management has become paramount. However, the ever-expanding range of data architectures and philosophies presents a challenge when determining the most suitable approach. In this talk, we will look at the landscape of data architectures and philosophies from the perspective of a developer. We delve into the key players: databases, data warehouses, data factories, data lakes, and data meshes. We aim to illuminate the strengths and weaknesses of each architecture, enabling you to make informed choices for your organisation's data strategy. Join us as we compare and contrast these architectures, unveiling the unique capabilities they offer. Choosing the right data architecture and philosophy is no easy feat. That's why we'll equip you with the necessary insights and learnings to navigate this complex decision-making process. Learn how to align your organisation's unique needs as we discuss the factors to consider, such as scalability, practicality, data retention, integration requirements, and latency.
