Cloud Data Warehousing with Mark Cusack

Listen Later

In this episode, guest Mark Cusack sits down with TDS to discuss cloud Data Warehousing. Yellowbrick Data is a 7-year-old startup that continues to grow in the highly competitive cloud data warehouse market. Yellowbrick recently raised $75 million in its latest round of capital funding as it expands into a variety of industries, including telecom, healthcare, retail, and manufacturing.

Yellowbrick describes itself as a cloud-native data warehouse.  It is available for deployment on-premises and in hybrid cloud and multi-cloud environments.

Key topics from the interview include:

  • What makes a database or data warehouse cloud-native? APIs, open-source, storage tiers,  networking. How does Yellowbrick define it?
  • One of the key things with cloud-native data warehouses is the separation of storage and compute. It gives you scalable storage and dynamic compute resources.
  • Not all approaches to storage/computing are the same. Yellowbrick has published a white paper that defines six different levels of storage/compute separation.
  • There are performance and workload advantages, but also important considerations around cost.
