In recent years, many cloud database providers have lauded their versions of a “data platform” and the perceived benefits for businesses of all sizes. One thing many of these platforms have in common is they are often referred to as a nearly universal panacea that vendors are uniquely able to deliver for today’s customer. A closer look, however, reveals that the most vocal proponents of a “data platform” have not arrived at a complete data platform — rather, are providing only a portion of the solutions organizations need to collect, process, analyze and store their data. “Data Platform” can be misleading in its premise, and these so-called “seamless” solutions often fall short in the light of real-world expectations.
