Modern Data Stack is a practitioner-led technology community and resource focused on helping teams understand, build, and operate modern data stacks. Now part of Dragonfly, the brand is expanding its coverage from data tools to the wider technology stack, including AI tools, agents, integrations, security, and technology spending. Its approach centers on practical experience and independent information, with no paid placements or vendor agenda.

Modern Data Stack has helped teams explore data tools, compare how organizations assemble their stacks, and learn from people doing the work. Its community projects included the MDS Rocketship Awards, judged by practitioners; Amazing People in Data interviews; the MDS Summit’23; and a weekly newsletter that published 112 issues. Going forward, articles, interviews, and research will appear on Dragonfly’s site, covering market developments and the challenges technology teams face. Modern Data Stack’s work contributes to Dragonfly’s broader ambition to connect insight into how businesses operate with knowledge of the technology market, helping inform technology decisions.
