Episode notes
Stop Hand Coding At Cloud Scale
- Avoid hand coding data pipelines at cloud scale because it's not sustainable.
- Use automation to generate native SQL so teams ship faster and reduce engineer bottlenecks.
Encode Standards As Reusable Nodes
- Encode organizational standards as reusable templates or user-defined nodes.
- Let data architects create those nodes so less-experienced users generate consistent, governed code.
Enable Architects To Set Guardrails
- Involve data architects early to define vision, standards, and templates before broad development.
- Use those guardrails to enable safe, scalable work by analysts and domain teams.
