Three trends shaping the modern data stack

Fivetran CEO George Fraser, Databricks CEO Ali Ghodsi and dbt Labs CEO Tristan Handy discuss the future of technologies powering data analytics and engineering. They emphasize making analytics more accessible to non-technical users, improving latency issues, and enhancing collaboration between business users and analytics engineers through a semantics layer. The evolution of the modern data stack (MDS) is crucial for democratizing data access and enabling innovation. Open source tools play a significant role in driving MDS development, while addressing latency issues remains an important frontier.
