Imagining the Future of Analytics and the Modern Data Stack

The Modern Data Stack Conference 2021 brought together tech leaders to discuss the current state and future of data analytics. They highlighted that the modern data stack revolution was driven by cost changes, enabling companies to store and work with more data than ever before. However, they also pointed out that there is still a need for improvements in user experience and collaboration tools. The discussion also touched upon the debate between the "walled garden" of the data warehouse and the open-source Data Lakehouse, with participants expressing their preference for the latter due to its potential to provide more value from customers' data.
