Summary
When we began this book, we defined the data engineering landscape as being an environment that is an ever-changing technological landscape. The following question is still going to be on the tip of your tongue and a constant companion throughout your journey:
The answer is soon! Soon, there will be even more powerful computing environments (there are always new hardware innovations). Quantum computing will supply the horsepower to drive developments in the data engineering field as its potential becomes reality. Soon, there will be evidence that your future-proof data engineering efforts will bear fruit, as software algorithms are run on the new cloud hardware technologies aligned to your chosen architecture. And, very soon, you will be done reading all about these best practices and begin applying them in your daily work.
We wish you much success with your engineering solution designs, and great fulfillment as you build what will...
