Here’s the definition from our Data Glossary:
“The Modern Data Stack (MDS) is a heap of open-source tools to achieve end-to-end analytics from ingestion to transformation to ML over to a columnar data warehouse or lake solution with an analytics BI dashboard backend. This stack is extendable, like lego blocks. Usually, it consists of data integration, a transformation tool, an Orchestrator, and a Business Intelligence Tool. With growing data, you might add Data Quality and observability tools, Data Catalogs, Semantic Layers, and more.”
