Explore data modeling from a software engineering perspective in this 55-minute conference talk that challenges the notion that formal data modeling is obsolete. Discover how data modeling extends far beyond traditional database design to encompass API payloads, messages, configuration files, document metadata, and Redis indexes that software engineers work with daily. Learn practical approaches to defining and structuring data in modern development environments while balancing agile methodologies with architectural considerations. Examine the tension between empowered teams making quick data decisions and the long-term challenges this creates for data architects trying to maintain coherence across systems. Gain insights into how thoughtful data modeling can improve software quality and maintainability without slowing down development velocity.
