There should be more Data Architect modules and less Data Engineering Modules The environment wasn't stable and the support wasn't great

Insightful and practical. The course does a great job connecting core data architecture concepts to real-world outcomes, with hands-on exercises that reinforce ERDs, keys, data categories, and governance. I especially liked the focus on how architecture choices (storage, transformation, and data protection) directly impact performance and business risk.
