Batch data processing  — historically known as ETL —  is extremely challenging. It’s time-consuming, brittle, and often unrewarding. Not only that, it’s hard to operate, evolve, and troubleshoot. In this post, we’ll explore how applying the functional programming paradigm to data engineering can bring a lot of clarity to the process. This post distills fragments of wisdom accumulated while working at Yahoo, Facebook, Airbnb and Lyft, with the perspective of well over a decade of data warehousing

In previous blog posts , we have described the Postgres database and ways to interact with it using Python. Those posts provided the basics, but if you want to work with databases in production systems, then it is necessary to know how to make your queries faster and more efficient. To understand what efficiency means in Postgres, it’s important to learn how Postgres works under the hood.

I mentioned in an earlier blog titled, “Staffing your big data team, ” that data engineers are critical to a successful data journey. That said, most companies that are early in their journey lack a dedicated engineering group. And the longer it takes to put a team in place, the likelier it is that your big data project will stall. The data engineering team is responsible for collecting and ingesting batch and stream-oriented data, inventorying the data, working through ingest bottlenecks, and d

I often meet with our customers to help them understand how to connect modern technology to business success. The ever-present question at these encounters is “Where do I start?” For them, they may understand that they need a data-driven strategy or the culture may aim to take a shift to being guided by data. These are often goals set by the executive team with little guidance on how to execute or implement.
