Summary Data systems are inherently complex and often require integration of multiple technologies. Orchestrators are centralized utilities that control the execution and sequencing of interdependent operations. This offers a single location for managing visibility and error handling so that data platform engineers can manage complexity. In this episode Nick Schrock, creator of Dagster, shares his perspective on the state of data orchestration technology and its application to help inform its im

In the vast world of data, it’s not just about gathering and analyzing information anymore; it’s also about ensuring that data pipelines, processes, and platforms run seamlessly and efficiently. Nothing screams “why are flying by night,” than coming into a Data Team only to find no tests, no docs, no deployments, no Docker, no nothing.

There has been quite a bit of writing covering GPT and LLMs from data science and business perspectives. I haven’t seen much from the data engineering side. Let me share my perspective, having been in data and AI for a while and using LLMs before they became popular. It is interesting to see the general public having the same amount of excitement as there was a year ago in the LLM space.

More than 50% of data leaders recently surveyed by BCG said the complexity of their data architecture is a significant pain point in their enterprise. Companies hampered by legacy data architectures are often plagued by a high total cost of ownership (TCO), an inability to govern data, and a lack of scalability as their data volumes grow. “As a result,” says BCG, “many companies find themselves at a tipping point, at risk of drowning in a deluge of data, overburdened with complexity and costs.
