Session: Data-Centric Development
The back-end data tier has historically served a single focus: storing and retrieving data for a single operational or analytical application. But modern data is becoming dynamic and reusable – it ebbs and flows across various applications, workflows, and even organizations. The development stack is evolving to reflect this new focus. Opposite of the “Application-Centric” stack, a data-centric architecture is one where data exists independently of a singular application and can empower a broad range of information stakeholders
In this session, Brian will introduce data-centricity and the various tools and technologies that empower data-centric developers.
Data-centric development requires us to extend the role of the database to include support for cryptographic trust, identity management, semantic interoperability across systems, and industry data standards. Brian will cover tangible ways to incorporate these characteristics into the tech stack to empower the new wave of data-centric development.
