A very interesting blog from Palantir on data connections, a firm who knows a little something about moving massive amounts of data....

What is a Data Connection?
The process of integrating data can be thought of as a “transformation pipeline” in which a series of incremental changes are applied to raw data to make it operational for a data ecosystem. This multi-faceted process requires many different capability sets to be applied to those raw data inputs as they are harmonized, secured, and transported into a new system. Data connections are the first step of this process. Data from source systems need to be identified, located, and approved for access — a process that may seem simple and straightforward but often consumes weeks and months of precious implementation time....

Without a holistic data connection framework, it is not uncommon for data engineers to spend months establishing stable connections to these source systems, especially those for which no data connection has previously been developed. Engineering resources spent building data connections are engineering resources not spent on other important functions downstream, like application building, ML model development, and analytical workflows.
