Conscious Decoupling: How Far Is Too Far for Storage, Compute, and the Modern Data Stack?

While there is no right answer, there is likely a sweet spot for most organizations’ data platforms. Read on to see where that might be.

Data engineers discovered the benefits of conscious uncoupling around the same time as Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin in 2014.

Of course, instead of life partners, engineers were starting to gleefully decouple storage and compute with emerging technologies like Snowflake (2012), Databricks (2013), and BigQuery (2010).

This had amazing …
