"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."
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.
