Simplicity rules!

But does not sell in data, no?

As in it’s hard to sell simplicity on data?

As in “I am not sure vendors like to sell simplicity in data.” In general of course, I could name a few for whom simplicity is a goal.

Oh no doubt. The MAP approach I just wrote about touches on this phenomena, vendor dependence where a simple semantic (bad word alert-!) contract suffices.

Vendor agnostic.

Love the literature that puts on the shoes of the reader and provides strategies for starting small ❤️

A common problem in the data world is that one thinks in a project way. One wants to finish the project. Product-oriented data engineering and management (PODEM) allows to build iteratively and hence “start light.”

Thanks for your comment.

Thank you. Awesome metaphor! Hard to imagine Data contracts "not" being part of the strategy.
