The Modern Data Stack: What It Is and Why You Need It
The modern data stack is a modular set of cloud-based technologies designed to store, manage, and analyze data efficiently. It includes elements like cloud infrastructure, data warehouses (e.g., Snowflake), analytics engines with semantic models, and diverse visualization tools. Key benefits include cost-efficiency, flexibility, and faster data processing. GoodData fits into this ecosystem with its FlexQuery engine and semantic model, offering real-time data access, open-source integration, and compatibility with various BI tools. Its API-first, headless BI architecture empowers scalable analytics across platforms, making it a central player in today’s data-driven landscape.
