Data Mapping Is Miserable. Do It Anyway.

from ByteSized · host kylerturnbull

Data mapping is tedious, painful, and absolutely necessary. In this episode, we break down why hard does not mean wrong, how poor migrations and lift-and-shift thinking create bigger disasters later, and why discipline around cleansing, configuration, and architecture matters more than chasing cloud hype. The work is not glamorous, but skipping it is what breaks servers, budgets, and teams.   Watch the full episode here: https://www.youtube.com/live/QUPBWtzpb0Q    Connect with me on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/kylercheatham/  Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kyler_cheatham_tech/   Follow me on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@kylercheatham   Connect with The Confluencial https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-confluencial   Follow The Confluencial on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the.confluencial
