How Upsolver Is Building A Data Lake Platform In The Cloud with Yoni Iny - Episode 56

Listen Later
Summary

A data lake can be a highly valuable resource, as long as it is well built and well managed. Unfortunately, that can be a complex and time-consuming effort, requiring specialized knowledge and diverting resources from your primary business. In this episode Yoni Iny, CTO of Upsolver, discusses the various components that are necessary for a successful data lake project, how the Upsolver platform is architected, and how modern data lakes can benefit your organization.

    • Interview
    • Introduction
    • How did you get involved in the area of data management?
    • Can you start by describing what Upsolver is and how it got started?
      • What are your goals for the platform?


      • There are a lot of opinions on both sides of the data lake argument. When is it the right choice for a data platform?

        • What are the shortcomings of a data lake architecture?


        • How is Upsolver architected?

          • How has that architecture changed over time?
          • How do you manage schema validation for incoming data?
          • What would you do differently if you were to start over today?


          • What are the biggest challenges at each of the major stages of the data lake?

          • What is the workflow for a user of Upsolver and how does it compare to a self-managed data lake?

          • When is Upsolver the wrong choice for an organization considering implementation of a data platform?

          • Is there a particular scale or level of data maturity for an organization at which they would be better served by moving management of their data lake in house?

          • What features or improvements do you have planned for the future of Upsolver?
