Your host is Tobias Macey and today I’m interviewing Barr Moses and Lior Gavish about the state of the market for data observability and their own work at Monte Carlo Interview Introduction How did you get involved in the area of data management? Can you give the elevator pitch for Monte Carlo? What are the notable changes in the Monte Carlo product and business since our last conversation in October 2020? You were one of the early entrants in the market of data quality/data observability products. In your work to gain visibility and traction you invested substantially in content creation (blog posts, presentations, round table conversations, etc.). How would you summarize the focus of your initial efforts? Why do you think data observability has really taken off? A few years ago, the category barely existed – what’s changed? There’s a larger debate within the data engineering community regarding whether it makes sense to go deep or go broad when it comes to monitoring your data. In other words, do you start with a few important data sets, or do you attempt to cover the entire ecosystem. What is your take? For engineers and teams who are just now investigating and investing in observability/quality automation for their data, what are their motivations? How has the conversation around the value/motivating factors matured or changed over the past couple of years? In what way have the requirements and capabilities of data observability platforms shifted? What are the forces in the ecosystem that have driven those changes? How has the scope and vision for your work at Monte Carlo evolved as the understanding and impact of data quality have become more widespread? When teams invest in data quality/observability what are some of the ways that the insights gained influence their other priorities and design choices? (e.g. platform design, pipeline design, data usage, etc.) When it comes to selecting what parts of the data stack to invest in, how do data leaders prioritize? For instance, when does it make sense to build or buy a data catalog? A data observability platform? The adoption of any tool that adds constraints is a delicate balance. What have you found to be the predominant patterns for teams who are incorporating Monte Carlo? (e.g. maintaining delivery velocity and adding safety/trust) A corollary to the goal of data engineers for higher reliability and visibility is the need by the business/team leadership to identify "return on investment". How do you and your customers think about the useful metrics and measurement goals to justify the time spent on "non-functional" requirements? What are the most interesting, innovative, or unexpected ways that you have seen Monte Carlo used? What are the most interesting, unexpected, or challenging lessons that you have learned while working on Monte Carlo? When is Monte Carlo the wrong choice? What do you have planned for the future of Monte Carlo?

Your host is Tobias Macey and today I’m interviewing Sean Knapp about the role of data automation in building maintainable systems Interview Introduction How did you get involved in the area of data management? Can you describe what you mean by the term "data automation" and the assumptions that it includes? One of the perennial challenges of automation is that there are always steps that are resistant to being performed without human involvement. What are some of the tasks that you have found to be common problems in that sense? What are the different concerns that need to be included in a stack that supports fully automated data workflows? There was recently an interesting article suggesting that the "left-to-right" approach to data workflows is backwards. In your experience, what would be required to allow for triggering data processes based on the needs of the data consumers? (e.g. "make sure that this BI dashboard is up to date every 6 hours") What are the tasks that are most complex to build automation for? What are some companies or tools/platforms that you consider to be exemplars of "data automation done right"? What are the common themes/patterns that they build from? How have you approached the need for data automation in the implementation of the Ascend product? How have the requirements for data automation changed as data plays a more prominent role in a growing number of businesses? What are the foundational elements that are unchanging? What are the most interesting, innovative, or unexpected ways that you have seen data automation implemented? What are the most interesting, unexpected, or challenging lessons that you have learned while working on data automation at Ascend? What are some of the ways that data automation can go wrong? What are you keeping an eye on across the data ecosystem?

Summary The optimal format for storage and retrieval of data is dependent on how it is going to be used. For analytical systems there are decades of investment in data warehouses and various modeling techniques. For machine learning applications relational models require additional processing to be directly useful, which is why there has been a growth in the use of vector databases. These platforms store direct representations of the vector embeddings that machine learning models rely on for computing relevant predictions so that there is no additional processing required to go from input data to inference output. In this episode Frank Liu explains how the open source Milvus vector database is implemented to speed up machine learning development cycles, how to think about proper storage and scaling of these vectors, and how data engineering and machine learning teams can collaborate on the creation and maintenance of these data sets.
