Can't forget about SQL. It's also worth noting that designing any central data system without a SQL interface is probably a mistake. The people making it may be more comfortable with a REST interface or Python API, but data users will show up and demand that data be SQL-accessible. So now you get to hack it in, or help them develop their own shadow database that is poorly replicated from the main system.
