Recently, I've reviewed numerous data engineering job postings and found that data modeling, specifically the ability to design and build dimensional data models, is a highly sought-after skill. This made me question the relevance of these models in the era of cloud computing and infinite scalability. Historically, star, snowflake, and galaxy schemas were all the rage. And rightfully so. However, I believe they are now overused, overshadowing approaches better suited to modern data stacks.
