Put Your Data to Work: Top 5 Data Technology Trends for 2023
Blog post from Confluent
Amid growing uncertainty and demand for faster responses to market changes, the piece identifies data transformation as a central technology priority for 2023 and beyond, shifting attention from traditional digital transformation toward real-time, shareable, governed, and self-service data. It argues that organizations should treat data as a first-class product, making it consistently available, discoverable, high-quality, secure, and traceable through lineage, contracts, and access controls. Trust and governance are presented as essential challenges, particularly for streaming data, with businesses needing to balance rapid data access with compliance, security, auditability, and role-based permissions. The discussion also predicts that streaming pipelines will increasingly replace batch-oriented and point-to-point systems as companies seek reusable, scalable ways to make real-time and historical data broadly accessible. By reducing infrastructure-management burdens and enabling developers and business teams to focus on innovation, data streaming platforms are portrayed as a means to accelerate application development, operational responsiveness, and business value.
