A step-change in building data platforms
To start this section, we’ll explain exactly what we mean by a contract-driven data architecture. We’ll explore how it is powered by using data contracts as the place to capture the metadata that describes the data, and we’ll see just how powerful it can be to create a contract-driven data architecture. We’ll show why we believe it is a step-change in building data platforms.
We’ll finish by walking through a case study from GoCardless, where we implemented a solution we thought was promoting autonomy but wasn’t as successful as we expected! What we learned from that greatly influenced our implementation of data contracts, where we have been much more successful in promoting autonomy through a self-serve interface.
We’ll explore the following topics in turn:
- Building generic data tooling
- Introducing a data infrastructure team
- A case study from GoCardless in promoting autonomy...
