Data Teams are like Role Playing Games (RPG). If you’re not familiar with RPGs, there is a person or group of characters all working together for a common goal. A crucial part of the individual characters are their levels, skills, and stats. In many games, higher levels are required to unlock specific skills. Likewise, stats show how well a character can utilize their skills.

Summary At the foundational layer many databases and data processing engines rely on key/value storage for managing the layout of information on the disk. RocksDB is one of the most popular choices for this component and has been incorporated into popular systems such as ksqlDB. As these systems are scaled to larger volumes of data and higher throughputs the RocksDB engine can become a bottleneck for performance.

Sometimes it takes a billion-dollar mistake to bring the murkier side of data ethics into sharp focus. Equifax found this out to their own cost in 2017 when they failed to protect the data of almost 150 million users globally. The catastrophic breach was bad enough on its own — but Equifax waited three months to go public with the news. As the public furore rose to a crescendo, the credit organization dragged its feet on disclosing exactly what kind of information had been leaked.

I’ve been working as a data and software engineer for more than 20 years. Not long after I joined my current employer Sounding Board , I had to normalize nested JSON arrays in a complex document schema so that I could join the child records to other collections and then denormalize data into a single result set — and I had to do it fast. On top of that, I had to make that data available to our custom-built application via a secure RESTful endpoint with a less than one second response time.
