Sneak Peek: What is a Modern Snowflake Data Stack?
Historically, large enterprises would build out what was called a “data platform” to support the flow of data across their organization. The data platform was a mesh of data technologies to support specific applications (including analytics) along with integration points between these as needed, both custom or using integration technologies.
The data platform architecture for an enterprise would be highly involved and consist of complex technologies. Over time, organizations would break their data platform into sections specific to certain aspects – applications, analytics, etc. The term “data stack” came into vogue to define the set of components or technologies to support the flow and use of data for analytics
