The evolution of data has been marked by significant changes over the past few decades, with data now being much larger and more diverse than in the past. The role of data within companies is also changing, with many now considering data to be a key part of their business strategy rather than just an information source. This shift has led to the development of new technologies such as NoSQL databases like MongoDB, which are better suited to handling large amounts of unstructured and semi-structured data. The need for faster and more efficient data management systems is becoming increasingly important as companies seek to gain insights from their data and drive innovation through digital transformation. With many organizations already investing in cloud-based infrastructure and software development, the current moment presents a unique opportunity for companies to rethink their approach to data management and develop "data platforms" that can handle real-time processing, storage, protection, and analysis of all related data sets.
