New Paradigm to Shift Left: Why is Shift Left Important?
Shift Left is derived from the software engineering principles of Shift Left Testing where tests are performed earlier in the development lifecycle to improve software quality, accelerate time to market, and identify issues earlier. Similarly, Shift Left in data integration involves processing and governing data closer to the source, ensuring fresh, trustworthy data flows into downstream systems and enabling reusable data products for operational and analytical use cases.
