interesting idea. databases/warehouses are one form of nexus then. not a platform, but still a nexus. as i went into data engineering I discovered that a lot of people are using ETL tools (like Fivetran and Airbyte where i work) to move data out from saas data silos into a warehouse basically so they dont have to figure out each API themselves. from there multiple teams can rely on the same data without any coordination. i think its a very interesting pattern that basically arises out of CAP theorem (and the pesky fact that APIs are not standardized; SQL is a much better "API" than most APIs)
