full disclosure - I'm with Avalor, so my perspective is shaped by my depth of knowledge on the value of data fabrics - at the very end of your comments, you have this line:
As the best-of-breed vs. platform debate rages on, one thing is clear: both approaches can benefit from a data fabric.
I would go one step further and argue that a data fabric doesn't just "benefit" both best-of-breed and platform - it ends the need for those to be in opposition - with a data fabric, you get best-of-breed AND all the benefits of a platform instead of making a trade off between the two -
this is what I see as a one of the big wins for customers - use whatever solutions fit your environment best AND have all the data in one place, informing and enriching each other
