And I keep hearing this term, like, data as a product and, and things of, of that nature, but for folks who aren't familiar with that, what, what is data as a product and, and, you know, why is this becoming, you know, such an important topic these days?
1:49
Um, well, the definition I actually build against and I prefer to use is that it's the smallest valuable self-contained unit of data that a single team owns end to end, um, with a clear purpose, with its own life cycle, and also with a defined way to be consumed.

And the impor-important mental model for me is that a data product is an architectural quantum.
2:17
Um, it's the smallest unit you can deploy and operate, um, independently, but it bundles more than just the data, right? It, it's the transformation code.
2:26
It's the metadata.
2:27
It's the contracts and SLAs.
2:30
Um, it's the access policies, and it's, it's the way you, um, input and, and output data from, from that product, so it's input/output ports as well.
