Confessions of a Data Guy
AUGUST 29, 2024
I still remember the good ole days when Apache Spark was fresh and hot, hardly anyone was using it, except a few poor AWS Glue and EMR users … Lord have mercy on their ragged souls. It’s funny how that GOAT of a tool went from being used by a few companies for extremely large […] The post Apache Spark’s Most Annoying Use Case appeared first on Confessions of a Data Guy.

In the spring of 2024, I ran a new survey to gather more data for my Data Teams book and update my 2023 and 2020 surveys. In total, we had 81 respondents. This survey was designed to get information about how management uses data teams, the value they’re creating, and how they’re creating it. The survey asked about the best and worst practices that teams are using or experiencing.

There’s a lot of noise surrounding the ability of AI agents to connect to your tools, systems and data. But building an AI application into a reliable, secure workflow agent isn’t as simple as plugging in an API. As an engineering leader, it can be challenging to make sense of this evolving landscape, but agent tooling provides such high value that it’s critical we figure out how to move forward.
