02 · The cost of complexity
Multiple engines. More work to keep them in sync.
Separate analytical stores mean more pipelines, more copies to reconcile, and more potential failure points for your team to manage.
Graph, relational and search analytics use the same data. Start with a search, follow connections across sources, and count or filter what you find in the same analysis. The search index lives inside the DataWalk database, so your team has no separate search service to run or keep in sync.
Fewer systems to integrate. Fewer copies to reconcile. Less engineering to maintain.
What shared analytical state removes
When graph, relational, and search engines each maintain their own analytical copy, engineers manage change-data-capture pipelines, reconciliation, backfills, permission enforcement, and recovery workflows to keep them aligned.
DataWalk removes the synchronization needed solely to keep those separate analytical stores consistent. Ingestion from source systems, caches, backups, and external integrations still require operation.
