In the past, the rapid expansion of data platforms led to a fragmented ecosystem as vendors rushed to support various data types and tools. For instance, organizations often manage structured data with relational databases like MySQL or Oracle, semi-structured data with NoSQL databases such as MongoDB, and unstructured data with data lakes implemented with Hadoop or Amazon S3.
