They Handle 500B Events Daily. Here’s Their Data Engineering Architecture.

Monte Carlo

A data engineering architecture is the structural framework that determines how data flows through an organization – from collection and storage to processing and analysis. It’s the big blueprint we data engineers follow in order to transform raw data into valuable insights.

Why Open Table Format Architecture is Essential for Modern Data Systems

phData: Data Engineering

The world we live in today presents larger datasets, more complex data, and diverse needs, all of which call for efficient, scalable data systems. Though basic and easy to use, traditional table storage formats struggle to keep up. Track data files within the table along with their column statistics.

On-Premise vs Cloud: Where Does the Future of Data Storage Lie?

Monte Carlo

These can sometimes involve running parallel architectures (analytical batches and real-time streams) and trying to reach a level of quality control that is not possible to the degree most would like. Challenges still exist of course.

Open-Source Data Warehousing – Druid, Apache Airflow & Superset

Simon Späti

In my recent blog, I researched OLAP technologies, for this post I chose some open-source technologies and used them together to build a full data architecture for a Data Warehouse system. I went with Apache Druid for data storage, Apache Superset for querying and Apache Airflow as a task orchestrator.
