Two concepts that seem entirely missing are "ownership" and "transformation". The root of ownership is "system of record" with intermediate systems combining data and doing transformation. "Getting data" becomes a question of where, in a differentiating tree that has it's root in the SoR, you connect to, and the trade-offs that implies.

This post (and the book it points to) is perhaps teaching a new generation what has been known for a long time: the "body" of your business is the data, not the code. E.g. if you have limited space on a thumbdrive and can only keep one thing in a datacenter fire, your database or your codebase, you keep the database.
