Question 1

What is data architecture?

Accepted Answer

It’s kind of like building a house: you need your blueprint to know what you need to build, and how all the pieces will fit together. Many times when software is acquired, it's a hammer looking for a nail, when you need to approach data architecture like a general contractor.

Data architecture is the structure and standardization around how organizations collect, store, transform, and use data across their business. A strong data architecture helps organizations make better use of their data by understanding where it is, how it moves, and when it needs to be delivered to users.

Question 2

What is data engineering?

Accepted Answer

If data architecture is your blueprint, data engineering is the building of the house itself: from studs to plumbing. Data engineering is the building out of technical infrastructure within your data architecture. Whether in batch or real-time processing, data engineering is often bespoke to each organization's data needs, so having the right partner is critical for project success.

Often included in data engineering is API integration, pipeline development, big data applications and platforms, data integration solutions, and data lakes or warehouses. Software engineers, data architects, and data scientists are involved in building out these components.

There's this internal perception of the A,B, and C team — but I don't believe RevUnit has a B or C team. From what I can see, your entire org is an A-team, which is why I advocate for you so much as a partner.
