There are only a few core concepts you need to know to start using Estuary Flow. We explain them with illustrations.
DataOps is a holistic approach that recognizes the far-reaching impacts data has for business, and addresses common problems on several fronts.
If you set up your architecture right, you just need one, robust data pipeline system.
It’s vital to avoid data-related power imbalances among individuals, teams, and entire businesses. But data democracy takes work.
The “modern data stack” is a framework used to conceptualize how different data tools work together. But there’s more to it than that.
