Veronika Durgin emphasizes the importance of foundational practices in data engineering that keep pipelines stable and prepare businesses for technological change. These practices require a mindset shift among data teams. In discussing the build vs. buy debate, Durgin highlights the value of bridge solutions as a method to avoid long-term commitments that could lead to obsolescence. She underlines that a feature is only complete when it meets all acceptance criteria and is thoroughly validated, thereby addressing a prevalent oversight within engineering disciplines.
Every decision we make now - whether to build or buy - has to be made with the focus that it's a short-term decision. We don't want to lock ourselves into a situation where we're left behind.
Today is tomorrow's legacy. Designing systems with modularity in mind allows organizations to replace components quickly without destabilizing the whole platform.
