THE RETURN OF THE MODERN DATA STACK

Summary from the TLDR Product newsletter

The idea of "warehouse-native" enterprise applications, where all business data would be centralized in data warehouses like Snowflake was once hyped. However, this vision largely failed due to the complexity of enterprise software, and now companies, such as SAP, are pivoting toward AI-driven data platforms like Business Data Cloud, which integrates SAP and non-SAP data while leveraging Databricks for analytics—suggesting that while the warehouse-native dream fizzled, the broader trend of unifying data formats for applications is still evolving.
