What is a Single Data Backbone?

A Single Data Backbone (SDB) is a unified data infrastructure that serves as the foundation for all your business applications. Unlike traditional architectures where each application has its own database, an SDB provides one central data layer that all apps read from and write to.

The Problem with Traditional Architectures

Most businesses run on a fragmented stack: Salesforce for CRM, QuickBooks for accounting, Monday.com for projects, and maybe Databricks for analytics. Each tool has its own database, and getting them to work together requires complex integrations, middleware, and constant maintenance.

How Single Data Backbone Solves It

With an SDB, all your applications—ERP, CRM, project management, analytics—read and write to the same data layer. This means:

  • No sync issues: Changes in one app instantly reflect everywhere
  • No integration hell: Apps are built natively on the platform
  • Real-time analytics: Query across all your business data instantly
  • One source of truth: No duplicate data, no conflicts

Weaver's Approach

At Weaver, we've built a world-class Single Data Backbone with enterprise-grade architecture (think Databricks or Snowflake), but unlike pure data platforms, we've also built native business applications on top of it. You get the infrastructure and the apps, all unified.
