The group addresses this question methodically incuding how databases get linked, how they get used, how they get migrated, how important it is to maintain languages and what it would take to migrate in language. In the end, we look back on that conversation apply lessons learned to what we are building today,
This is absolutely essential because new designs will become tomorrow’s legacy! We’ll be struggling to migrate those in 10 or 15 years too. So everything we can learn helps prevent that cycle.
