Databases are legacy. It's time to rethink data storage and usage

I am Co-Founder/CEO at Tigris Data and the author of this article.

Here I talk about the increased complexity of data infrastructure these days. How this idea about a specific toolset or component for a particular use-case has become the norm. And there has been a "gold" rush for infrastructure companies to stake a place in this new landscape, creating new tools and resulting in increasingly complex architectures.

We need to rethink what a data platform should look like. It has to be one that removes boilerplate and gives developers the ability to just be software developers and not DevOps.

> Data stored is optimized for application access patterns, not the application designed to adhere to the database's preferred patterns.

How do you make sure these "application access patterns" are mutually compatible without designing them anyway?
