Episode 2 - Where Should Compute Happen in Modern Data Platforms?

6 June 2026

Where Should Compute Happen in Modern Data Platforms?

One of the biggest architectural shifts today isn't about where data is stored—it's about where compute happens.

The Challenge

  • More data sources
  • More ETL/ELT pipelines
  • More replicated data
  • Higher operational complexity
  • Fragmented governance
  • The Architectural Question

    Should we always move data to compute, or bring compute closer to where the data already lives?
