The Data Stack’s Next Form Factor: Multi-Agent Systems | HackerNoon

Traditional data platforms rely on centralized monoliths and complex engineering pipelines that often create bottlenecks for business decision-makers. This article introduces Da2a, an open-source prototype that proposes a decentralized, agentic architecture where specialized Domain Agents (e.g., Marketing, E-commerce) collaborate through a Root Orchestrator using the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol. By treating data sources as autonomous experts that communicate via standardized “agent cards” rather than static tables, Da2a demonstrates how multi-agent systems can intuitively solve complex cross-domain problems, offering a scalable and insight-focused alternative to rigid data warehousing.
