The Data Gravity Problem Is Back, and AI Made It Worse

Data gravity never actually disappeared, so it may not be fully accurate to say it’s back. However, it definitely stayed quiet. Traditional data analytics workloads were forgiving enough that this problem was not catastrophic. Dashboards loading slightly slower, or reports running overnight were not a disaster. The system continued to work, even if it was…
