Emerging Architectures for Modern Data Infrastructure by Matt Bornstein, Jennifer Li, Martin Casado via @future

This detailed look at the modern data stack was initially created in 2020 and has been recently updated to show how things are evolving. Covers best-in-class architectures for both analytic and operational systems and lays out a hypothesis for why specific changes are happening. The article came out of discussions with dozens of practitioners.

I found this very interesting - and the fact that it highlights the changes from the original version gives us all a great idea as to how things have changed. Use it for discussion in your own teams and what needs to be changed.
