The Composable Data Management System Manifesto
Summary: Argues monolithic, siloed data systems hinder reuse and innovation; advocates decomposing systems into modular, reusable components to standardize APIs and semantics. Presents a vision surveying emerging OSS building blocks, design patterns, and open research questions to enable composable stacks. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
