Read: SELECT Insights - Bundling with Microsoft Fabric and Orchestration

Data Orchestration is increasingly significant in the data engineering ecosystem. Despite its importance, there’s a concerning trend of orchestrator unbundling across multiple tools, causing fragmentation. Key developments include Dagster’s $33 million Series B funding and Microsoft’s launch of Microsoft Fabric.
Microsoft provides robust no-code solutions but lacks an open-source orchestrator—a gap potentially filled by the Open Data Stack.
Discussions at Stephen Bailey’s Symposium suggest orchestrators need to emphasize speed, simplicity, data ingestion, actions, integration, and controlled chaos. Data Engineering should be viewed as a collaborative field, not a single job role.
