A key responsibility for any data team is to understand the core metrics driving their business. Starting from the top, these metrics often include figures like gross revenue and expenses. However, these high-level metrics can feel too far removed and abstract from the actual business. Many companies, therefore, break down these top-line metrics into more… Read more The post How Data Teams Drive Business Success by Understanding Core Metrics appeared first on Seattle Data Guy.

Cryptographic monitoring at scale has been instrumental in helping our engineers understand how cryptography is used at Meta. Monitoring has given us a distinct advantage in our efforts to proactively detect and remove weak cryptographic algorithms and has assisted with our general change safety and reliability efforts. We’re sharing insights into our own cryptographic monitoring system, including challenges faced in its implementation, with the hope of assisting others in the industry aiming to

By: Rajiv Shringi , Oleksii Tkachuk , Kartik Sathyanarayanan Introduction In our previous blog post, we introduced Netflix’s TimeSeries Abstraction , a distributed service designed to store and query large volumes of temporal event data with low millisecond latencies. Today, we’re excited to present the Distributed Counter Abstraction. This counting service, built on top of the TimeSeries Abstraction, enables distributed counting at scale while maintaining similar low latency performance.

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. Before building your own data architecture from scratch though, why not steal – er, learn from – what industry leaders have already figured out?

Read Time: 2 Minute, 32 Second Triggered tasks in Snowflake offer a key advantage: they only execute when new data arrives, eliminating the need to run a warehouse or cloud service constantly and reducing associated costs. By leveraging Snowflake’s stream processing and trigger-based task scheduling , we ensure data is loaded and validated as soon as it arrives, allowing for near real-time processing.
