The challenges that the legacy warehouse posed for the company included the need for new custom pipelines each time data sources were added, which sometimes took weeks to build a cumbersome querying process that meant some potentially valuable queries were never even attempted and the necessity of tightly restricting user access to the data warehouse, because it resided in the company's production AWS account.

Change is a constant on the front page of the website known as.
