The Big Themes:
• It just doesn’t magically happen: It’s not the data you already have, this is one of the hard lessons that lot of folks think.
• DataStax fits into that equation: And this is one of the things that I think goes back to what you talked about in terms of agility.
• Everybody has S3 compatible APIs: You've got your storage now that is just scale out via very simple APIs. You've got your compute now that's been standardized on top of Kubernetes.
• You may have some rock stars: But majority of code written even at these internet companies is written by good developers. And I guarantee you, you've got good developers.

The Big Quotes:
“And so Cassandra was what enabled a number of retailers, many of the major retailers in operation today built critical parts of their e-commerce stack on top of Cassandra.”

“The starting point for most folks is you start talking about saying, ‘Okay, you need to collect and log and interpret all of these streams of data.’”

“And so the open data stack is about trying to make data catch up to where Kubernetes is in terms of giving you that agility.”
