Modern data systems don’t fail because of bad tools. They fail because of broken thinking.
In Mastering Data Architecture, Satyendra Chauhan, a seasoned data architect, mentor, and transformation leader, reveals why most cloud migrations, AI initiatives, and data strategies struggle or fall short. This is not a book about tools. It is a guide to the mindset and principles that shape scalable, trustworthy, and AI-ready data systems.
Drawing from over two decades of experience across startups, Fortune 100 companies, and large-scale cloud programs, Chauhan offers a first-principles playbook for modern data engineers and architects. Whether you are new to the field or transitioning from engineering to architecture, you will learn how to design systems that last and evolve.
