Today’s TDS episode is all about data and data models, and why they
matter. Deciding how to model your data ahead of time can pay off down
the road. It helps ensure that the people who are using the data get
what they need from it, and can reduce technical debt. Data modeling is a
way of mapping out and visualizing all the different places that a
software or application stores information, and how these sources of
data will fit together and flow into one another. This is a hugely
important stage in the design process for any business-critical IT
system. When developers are figuring out how a new system will work,
they establish what the most pressing needs of a business are, what kind
of data they’ll need to access in order to meet those needs, and how
the data will be used.From there, they can start to create a diagram (or
model) of how each pocket of data will flow into each other, and how
they’ll interact.
