What is the modern data stack?
To put things simply, the modern data stack (MDS) is a set of tools that power data integration.
These tools include a fully managed data pipeline for “extract, load, and transform” (ELT) processes along with a cloud-based data lake or columnar warehouse for the data’s destination.
On top of that, MDS requires a data transformation tool and a visualization or business intelligence (BI) platform so your company can make use of all the numbers.
The primary difference between a modern data stack and a legacy data stack lies in the host.
The modern data stack is hosted in the cloud and, as a result, requires very little technical interference from its users. The modern data stack almost guarantees end-user accessibility, while the company at-large enjoys endless scalability that grows quickly without the expensive downtime associated with scaling the server room that supports a legacy data stack.
