Metrics Stores Remind Me That Data Work Is Hard
If you haven’t heard about metrics stores yet, they’re “newish,” so you likely will. They are interesting to an extent, but mostly, they feel like a late-night re-run and remind me that data work is hard.
So, what is a metrics store? Most of the young vendors trying to create this category will tell you that it’s a unified way to define and manage business metrics and abstract the confusion and sprawl of layers of BI tools into a common semantic meaning. It sounds like a utopia, right?
