Shift Left: Headless Data Architecture, Part 2
The headless data architecture is the formalization of a data access layer at the center of your organization. Encompassing both streams and tables, it provides consistent data access for both operational and analytical use cases. Streams provide low-latency capabilities to enable timely reactions to events, while tables provide higher-latency but extremely batch-efficient querying capabilities. You simply choose the most relevant processing head for your requirements and plug it into the data.
