On Data Fabric and Data Mesh. Q&A with Jeffrey Fried
“It’s fairly common that organizations are using a data fabric pattern without calling it by that name. For example, Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) use the data fabric pattern, but they were conceived before the...
On Real-time Databases. Q&A with Andrei Gorine and Steve Graves
“Another rapidly evolving concept is real-time mixed criticality systems that integrate components with different levels of criticality onto a single computing platform.” Q1. Why is there a need for real-time databases? Data has become the greatest...
