What’s Next for Data Engineering in 2023? 7 Predictions

What’s in store for the future of data engineering? In this article, I share some of my topline predictions for 2023 — and beyond. End of the year prediction articles are hokey, but they serve a purpose. They help us rise above the daily grind and consider where to place our longer term bets. They also tend to be an exercise in humility as we try to paint a coherent “big picture” of an…

The Next Big Crisis for Data Teams

Data teams are more important than ever before — but they need to get closer to the business. Here’s how we can right the ship. — Over the past decade, data teams have been simultaneously underwater and riding a wave. We’ve been building modern data stacks, migrating to Snowflake like our lives depended on it, investing in headless BI, and growing our teams faster than you can say reverse ETL. Yet, much of the time we…

Zero-ETL, ChatGPT, And The Future of Data Engineering

The post-modern data stack is coming. Are we ready? — If you don’t like change, data engineering is not for you. Little in this space has escaped reinvention. The most prominent, recent examples are Snowflake and Databricks disrupting the concept of the database and ushering in the modern data stack era. As part of this movement, Fivetran and dbt fundamentally…

6 Steps to Making Data Reliability a Habit

Some organizations approach data quality like a crash diet. Instead, try these 6 steps for sustainable data quality at scale. — I like to think of operationalizing data reliability within the context of physical fitness. You can get in shape with hard work, but staying in shape requires good habits. And above all else it’s a mindset and a lifestyle. You also have to sweat. At least a little bit. No…

6 Reasons Why Companies Fail at Data Governance

And how to avoid falling into the same traps — Everywhere we go in the cloud data space today, we’re hearing one message loud and clear: “you should be thinking about data governance”. It’s a sentiment that we wholeheartedly endorse, but we like to take it a little bit further — you should be thinking about data governance differently. In…

The Fight for Controlled Freedom of the Data Warehouse

The data gatekeeper is dead, long live the…oh no what have we done? — A silent alarm rings in my head whenever I hear someone utter the phrase, “data is everyone’s responsibility.” You can just as easily translate this to mean that “data is no one’s responsibility,” too. This, readers, is what I call the “data tragedy of the commons.” Here’s why. The term…

Can You Out-Architect Bad Data?

Even with the most well-designed data platforms, systems will break. Without embracing risk, you’re playing with fire. — Say it with me: broken data is inevitable. It doesn’t care about how proactive you are at writing dbt tests, how perfectly your data is modeled, or how robust your architecture is. The possibility of a major data incident (Null value? Errant schema change? Failed model?) that reverberates across the…

Is “Self-Service” Data’s Biggest Lie?

Self-serve systems are a big priority for data leaders and a principle of nearly every modern data strategy, but what exactly does it mean? — Data self-service, the ability for stakeholders in the organization to answer their own business questions with data, is a top initiative for nearly every data leader I’ve spoken to this year. It’s so foundational to creating a data-driven organization, that most of the questions surrounding it focus on the “when”…
