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.
