Comments

John Maxwell (No chance) says
The job of a database architect involves designing and managing complex database systems. This requires a high level of technical skills and experience.

Additionally, it involves making decisions about trade-offs between performance, scalability, security, and other factors. These decisions can have a significant impact on the success of an organization's IT systems.

Automation of these tasks may be possible to some extent. However, the complex nature of database architecture, as well as the need for human judgment and experience, mean that full automation is unlikely in the near future.

Ultimately, the job of a database architect requires a combination of technical knowledge and creative problem-solving. These are uniquely human skills that cannot be easily replaced by machines.

Rigid rules are contrasted with the open storage of raw data. The days of setting up perfect folders, for instance, to make finding emails and trends are long gone.

Similarly, relational structures are not performant for graph data at usable levels. AI will have plenty of examples, both internal to an organization and via accepted issue-specific models, to architect and tune storage.
