Discussing data storage techniques - the milky way

What's this blog post about?

This blog uses an ice-cream store metaphor to explain different data management techniques such as streaming, batch processing, caching, archiving, and encryption. It compares fresh milk with fresh data, powdered milk with cached data, and the concept of a constant supply of fresh milk with stream processing. The analogy helps readers understand how these techniques can be used in their enterprise data architecture. Additionally, it discusses long-term storage solutions for archival data and handling sensitive data securely.
