Why Column-Aware Metadata Is Key to Automating Data Transformation

So it is 2023, and like everyone, I have a few predictions. Check out my thoughts in this post about automating data transformations using column-aware metadata and why it is critical to the success of more collaboration and data sharing..

Data, data, data. It does seem we are not only surrounded by talk about data, but by the actual data itself. We are collecting data from every nook and cranny of the universe (literally!). IoT devices in every industry; geolocation information on our phones, watches, cars, and every other mobile device; every website or app we access—all are collecting data. 

In order to derive value from this avalanche of data, we have to get more agile when it comes to preparing the data for consumption. This process is known as data transformation, and while automation in many areas of the data ecosystem has changed the data industry over the last decade, data transformations have lagged behind. 

That started to change in 2022, and in 2023 I predict we will see an accelerated adoption of platforms that enable data transformation automation.

May 2023 be your most agile year yet!

#TrueDataOps Podcast: Ultimate Guide

In case you have been under a rock these last few months (or just busy with holiday plans), I started doing a weekly, livestream podcast call #TrueDataOps. Details below for a recap of 2022 and a look at what’s ahead on the show for 2023.

The Seven Pillars of #TrueDataOps

Hosted by Kent Graziano, aka The Data Warrior, the #TrueDataOps Podcast launched in November 2022, bringing together leading lights in the industry to discuss all matters DataOps, and in particular its journey towards maturity.  

Kent has met thought leaders, innovators, and pioneering user organizations at the forefront of the #TrueDataOps revolution – with the story continuing into 2023 and beyond. 

We are working on a great lineup of guests for 2023 to help us understand not only the technical aspects of implementing a #TrueDataOps approach, but also the organizational aspects. So, we will address not only the “what” but the who, when, and most importantly “why” organizations need this. 

Check out the rest of the post for all the details and how to get notifications of upcoming episodes: #TrueDataOps Podcast: Ultimate Guide

I hope you will kick off the new year by joining us. Happy viewing!

The Role of DataOps in a Data Mesh Architecture

Hot off the press – a new post discussing two of today’s hottest topics – #DataMesh and #DataOps.

Data Mesh is a decentralized architecture that organizes data by specific business domains and teams, leveraging a self-service approach. It’s designed to provide greater ownership and responsibility to Data Product teams and, it is hoped, more effective outputs in a timely manner. 

Data mesh is founded on four pillars: 

  • Empowered domain ownership – letting the experts who know the data best do their jobs. 
  • Cross organizational transport – enabling consumption through data products. 
  • Self-service analytical platform – reducing costs, improving agility. 
  • Federated governance – the ‘glue’ that holds the process together, enabling interoperability and compliance. 

Is DataOps simply an enabler for more sophisticated design patterns like Data Mesh?  If we carry on with DevOps thinking – considering how the involvement of end users in a product lifecycle went from passive to truly active, one starts to see that it’s more than that.

Happy reading.
