SUMMARY:Data Platform Gravity
DESCRIPTION:You thought you were building a data stack. What you’re really building is a black hole — and it’s pulling everything in. \nWho’s on the show\nVeronika Durgin\, VP of Data at Saks \nWhat we’re covering:\nChris Tabb’s Platform Gravity thesis takes center stage in this episode — the idea that data ecosystems are naturally consolidating. Your team\, tooling\, governance\, and business logic are all being pulled toward a center of gravity — whether that’s Snowflake\, Databricks\, or your own platform play. \nVeronika brings hands-on experience navigating this shift at scale\, from building leaner teams to rationalizing tooling across business units. \nTopics you’ll hear: \n* What is Data Platform Gravity and how do you know it’s happening?\n* How Saks evolved its data ecosystem around a unifying platform\n* The myth of “flexibility” and why consolidation drives performance\n* The hidden tax of multi-tool data stacks\n* Why fewer tools\, deeper integrations\, and tighter governance = business value\n* Veronika’s take on platform-led architecture vs best-of-breed chaos \n💣 Truth Bomb\n“If your data platform has gravity\, your ecosystem will consolidate around it. You can lead that shift\, or get crushed by it.”
