Spaghetti Code and Spaghetti Data Flows

Spaghetti Code and Spaghetti Data Flows impact the systems maintainability

Spaghetti code

Spaghetti code is related to the non-maintainability of the source code of a solution. Many software developers will have a special feeling regarding spaghetti code: too many jumps from one part of the code to another part of the code!

Spaghetti Data Flow

Spaghetti Data Flow is related to the non-maintainability of data flowing from one system to another system and Vice Versa, especially those who originate from a source system's table and flow towards tables (in a kind of sequence) of one or more than one target systems, and then flow back from the target system(s) to the source system's table.


Let’s hope that the Enterprise Data Architects have implemented an identifier to distinguish both data flows (outgoing and incoming) from the source system's table!
