I agree and interface makes things less tightly coupled. But in order to change this we’d need a big cultural change at the company to seeing publishing data for secondary use cases as a core function of the job. Part of why data teams go in and get the data vs the other team publishing an API is because it’s the data team’s whole job to make data available and takes minimal effort from the software/system team. If the team is expected to make and maintain an API (including change management) that is a LOT of extra work. […]

With focus, communication, and execution, you can push through projects that improve the quality of the data in your organisation.
