About this book
Digital, cloud, and artificial intelligence (AI) have disrupted how we use data. This disruption has changed the way we need to provision, curate, and publish data for the multiple use cases in today's technology-driven environment. This text will cover how to design, develop, and evolve a data platform for all the uses of enterprise data needed in today's digital organization.
This book focuses on explaining what a data platform is, what value it provides, how is it engineered, and how to deploy a data platform and support organization. In this context, Introduction to Data Platforms
