DATA ARCHITECTUREThe “Modern Data Stack” Explained Simply…as a StackNot a data stack — Photo by Andrew Draper on UnsplashLast year, as I found myself looking for a job with a broader scope of action than my position at the time (Operations Data Analyst), I started to get interested in topics around data architecture at companies.
