Data pipeline design playbook 2026

What’s inside the playbook?

This isn't just theory. It’s a tactical guide to the 7 frameworks that are defining the 2026 data landscape:

The kappa shift: Learn why treating everything as a stream is the secret to 100% data consistency.
ELT vs. ETL: Why the transform-last approach is saving engineers 20+ hours of maintenance a week.
Modern data lakes: Practical steps to implement "medallion architecture" and kill the data swamp for good.
Microservices for data: How to build decoupled, unbreakable pipelines that scale horizontally.
The lambda balance: When (and how) to combine batch and speed layers without doubling your workload.
