Designing a data-product-centric architecture
The transition from a monolithic data management solution to a modular one based on treating data as a product represents a true paradigm shift, demanding interventions at both the technological and organizational architecture levels. In this section, we’ll explore the key elements to consider when designing such a socio-technological architecture.
System architecture
A system is a collection of interconnected components or elements that work together to achieve a common purpose or function. In our case, the system we aim to define the architecture for is a modular data management solution designed to make data assets easily usable in supporting the achievement of the organization’s strategic objectives. But what exactly is the architecture of a system? Numerous definitions exist in the literature. Ralph Johnson, co-author of Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software, defines the architecture of...
