What is an open platform?

Response:
A platform is open if it provides you options for how you experience your data platform: open frameworks, multiple languages, common libraries, CI/CD tooling, APIs, IDEs, internal or external orchestration. You can customize your experience. Separating storage and compute on top of an open file format allows for even more flexibility using a host of connectors to read your data without paying unnecessary compute costs. And, it minimizes -- but doesn't eliminate -- the barriers of migration if you want to change your architecture and integrate new tooling. The big data and cloud space is moving fast and future proofing your architecture is a key concern for most Enterprise Data Platform owners.
