Data stack migrations are inevitable, but they often end in frustration and failure. Why? In this latest video, Nextdata’s Head of Product Engineering, Sina Jahan, joins Cornelius Willis for a deep dive into why so many migrations don’t deliver the expected results—and what can be done differently.

Sina, with over 15 years of experience in cloud and data management migrations, shares architectural insights on the real reasons data migrations derail. Whether it's political decisions, vendor incentives, or simply the inertia of data gravity, organizations find themselves in an endless cycle of re-platforming without achieving meaningful transformation.

🔹 Why does data management move differently than applications? Unlike web or transactional systems, data lacks the friction-free abstractions that make software migrations easier.

🔹 Are migrations worth it? Even when executive buy-in is strong, many organizations fail to see the ROI they expect. Fancy new tools don’t always mean better data accessibility.

🔹 Is there a better way? Instead of constant migrations, Nextdata packages existing assets into data products without requiring movement. ,  , reducing unnecessary movement while still enabling modern data capabilities.
