Check out my latest book of the week! 📖 The Rise of Logical Data Management, new work that challenges us to rethink how we approach data architecture. Shout out to author Christopher Gardner!

The premise is that the way we’ve been doing things is often at odds with what a truly modern data and AI system needs. Let me explain…

Most of us shuffle our data between lakes, warehouses, clouds, whatever we’ve got. Things like real-time analytics and AI need agility. But we’ve been focused on moving our data around, copying it, centralizing it and rebuilding it. What if the real solution isn’t to move data at all? That’s exactly what is being proposed with logical data management.

Instead of endlessly replicating data across systems, the idea is to connect to where the data already lives and make it accessible in real-time. No more massive migrations and fragile pipelines, just logical connections that make your existing data usable right where it is.

If you work in data or AI and want a fresh, practical perspective on what ‘modern’ data management could really mean, I highly recommend checking this one out via O'Reilly: https://lnkd.in/embEZfqC

It reminds me that in data (as in so many things), ⭐ the best solution is often the simplest one. ⭐ I’m about halfway through the book now, it’s not a long book, just 124 pages and very easy to read/follow.

What struck me most is that this is not a ‘new’ idea. It’s been evolving for 20+ years and focuses more on integration rather than where we store data. When done right, the idea is that it will radically change how we power AI, data democratization, data governance and even IT.

For those extra curious to learn more about the concept, Kate Strachnyi is hosting a live show on Oct-21 to discuss it with the author as well as Ravi Shankar and Alberto Pan from Denodo: https://lnkd.in/eDmAErvZ
