Data Modeling 101 - Part 1.

What is data modeling, and how to do it.

I’m not sure if there is a topic more fraught with gypsy black magic, obscured by mist, whispered about in the back halls, and practiced like black magic in the dark night under the old oak tree than … data modeling. I have no idea what that is.

“Maybe it was the mad rush for the data is the new gold modern data stack craze. Whatever it was, it seems like nothing has happened since the Data Warehouse Toolkit came out all those decades ago.”

“It’s been a long silence on the data modeling front, even though it’s still a core tenant of good Data Engineering.”

If you look at the timeline of data events, it’s been a long dry spell for data modeling, compared to the rapid pace of data tool innovation.
