Complex data and workflows
Handling large, diverse datasets like genomic data and health records requires bespoke tools and complex transformations. Different teams are using disparate tools, making collaboration difficult and a unified view of data impossible.

Operationalizing machine learning models
Integration and deploying trained ML models into production workflows is challenging. Coupled with a lack of observability, teams have difficulty gaining insights into the state of data pipelines, data lineage, and monitoring data processing.

Ensuring compliance and governance
Ensuring data handling practices adhere to regulatory requirements is difficult and slows down velocity, especially when there are no internal standards for data pipelines. Teams are using their own tools without a standardized workflow.

Need for scalable data processing
Processing vast amounts of data efficiently requires complex distributed computing environments, which often are difficult for domain experts to use. Bottlenecks are more common than collaboration as teams rely on a small platform team to be able to operate effectively.
