Monday Morning Data Chat

How should data engineers and data scientists effectively communicate? This is a big challenge for many data teams. In this Monday Morning Data Chat, we explore this question, and much more.  If you're on a data team with communication team - or manage one - this is a great episode for you!

Joe joins us from the beach (please excuse the choppy audio on Joe's phone) to chat with Matt about metadata driven architecture. We discuss Raghu Murthy's fantastic talk at the Utah Data Engineering Meetup about metadata-first architecture, orchestration, and why metadata is going to play a central role in data engineering over the next several years.

Cloud data warehouses such as Snowflake, BigQuery, and Redshift are hugely popular. And rightfully so - they work great for modern data needs. However, people often make costly mistakes when trying to use them.   

This week, we discuss some very common anti-patterns - and solutions for better usage - with cloud data warehouses. We cover general CDW concerns, and best practices for loading and querying data. Enjoy!
