Top 5 Data Technology Trends: Govern It, Stream It, Set It Free
Blog post from Confluent
At Current 2022, data streaming professionals highlighted a shift from broad digital transformation initiatives toward data transformation centered on real-time, shareable, governed, and self-service data. Organizations are increasingly encouraged to treat data as a product and first-class asset by ensuring its quality, consistency, lineage, discoverability, and secure accessibility across operational, analytical, and SaaS systems. However, survey findings cited in the discussion indicate that while trusted data is linked to improved customer satisfaction, few organizations have complete architectures for data management and control, and streaming data remains among the least trusted sources. Legacy batch-oriented, point-to-point pipelines are also struggling to meet growing real-time requirements because they are difficult to scale, reuse, govern, and maintain. The discussion emphasizes that modern streaming platforms and stronger governance can help teams spend less time managing infrastructure and more time developing applications, delivering use cases, and driving innovation.
