I'm a fan of the sushi principle: raw data is better than cooked data.
Each process should take data from a golden source and not a pre-aggregated or overly normalized non-authorative source.
- layer8 6mo agoSometimes the role of your system is to be the authoritative source of data that it has aggregated, validated, and canonicalized.
