Why SQL Still Reigns Supreme in Data Modeling (and why it matters for YOU)
Unpacking the enduring power of structured data in an unstructured world
Hello Fellow Data Architects,
In a world overflowing with data, the question isn't just how to store it, but how to structure it for true scale and reliability. While NoSQL and data lakes offer flexibility, there's a powerful reason why SQL still stands as the king of data modeling.
In Part 4 of our newsletter series, "Data Modeling for Scale — Why SQL Still Reigns Supreme," we tackle the enduring relevance of SQL in modern data engineering. We'll explore:
Why poor data models create bottlenecks no tooling can fix.
The evolution of data modeling and SQL's foundational strengths.
How SQL provides performance, predictability, and unparalleled interoperability for both transactional (OLTP) and analytical (OLAP) systems.
Why modern SQL is not just legacy, but the backbone of cloud-native platforms.
This issue is your guide to understanding why SQL modeling remains crucial for building robust, future-proof data systems.
