Why is data engineering still such a complicated and challenging undertaking? |
What are the main stumbling blocks keeping key tools like Spark and Airflow being used more widely? |
Data pipelines are mission-critical. How are companies ensuring their pipelines are reliable and work as scales and complexity increase? |
The data in these pipelines also need to be watched end-to-end. What are the best practices for ensuring bad data doesn’t go through and data can be tracked back to the source? |
Many ETL developers are used to developing pipelines but in a walled garden with Informatica or Ab Initio. How do ETL Developers transition to these new, open source data technologies? |
