Hi Trailblazers,
I'm exploring Data 360 architecture for an enterprise implementation involving multiple external data sources.
One important design decision is whether to ingest data directly into Data 360 or use Zero Copy to access external data.
How do you decide which approach works best when considering real-time data availability, performance, data governance, scalability, and cost?
Would appreciate insights from anyone who has implemented these approaches in real-world projects.

You would decide based on these core points:
- Data Ingestion: Best for data transformation, identity resolution, and unified customer profiles.
- Zero Copy: Best for accessing large external datasets without duplicating data.
- Real-Time Data: Zero Copy with live queries can provide access to the latest source data.
- Performance: Ingestion is useful for frequently processed data. Zero Copy depends on external query performance.
- Cost: Compare ingestion and storage costs against Zero Copy query costs.
- Security: Consider data governance, access permissions, and compliance.
My suggestion: Use a hybrid approach based on business requirements. Always validate performance, data freshness, and cost through a POC before finalizing.
