Designing a Future-Proof Data Architecture Part 2

The DataStax whitepaper "Moving to a Modern Architecture" discusses eight key ways to prepare for and manage a modern data architecture. It highlights that microservices architectures are prevalent in developing modern applications, emphasizing the need for strong flexibility at the data layer. The paper also addresses polyglot persistence, stating that a multi-model database approach is more efficient than previous implementations. Furthermore, it discusses the importance of native cloud databases and their characteristics, as well as the requirements needed for a true futureproof data architecture. The whitepaper suggests that NoSQL databases are best suited for modern applications, but not all nonrelational databases can support the necessary requirements.
