I care about my job, enjoy my work, and I take pride in being able to deliver things, but I don't know how to deliver value for my traders here.

I'd really appreciate some perspective from seasoned data-engineers who might have seen this KDB as a data-lake pattern before, and what they did about it. Not just technically, but how they managed the organisational change of KDB for the KDB quants.

I also just don't really know where else to ask. There's not really an online KDB community, and you have a lot of KDB devs who are really good at KDB but know barely anything else which makes me skeptical of their advice.
