Monday Morning Data Chat (Ternary Data)

Synthetic data is becoming one of the hot areas to watch in machine learning. With data quality, privacy, and security a huge concern for almost any company, more and more people are looking at synthetic data as a way to address these problems. Fabiana Clemente (co-founder/Chief Data Officer at YData) joins the show to chat about all things synthetic data, data communities, and more.

There's a lot of debate on big and small data. For systems and compute, some say "Big Data is Dead", while others challenge this notion. In AI and ML, big tech companies can pour tons of money and data into building massive LLMs, while open source provides compelling "small data" alternatives to the LLM walled gardens.
So which is it? Will Big Data reign supreme or will small data become more popular? Matt and I riff on these topics and more.

Data Mesh has caught the technology and data industry by storm and is easily one of the hottest topics today. Oftentimes, the harder parts of Data Mesh don't get as much attention or coverage.

This was an open session at the Utah Data Engineering Meetup (November 2022) to ask Zhamak about the hard parts of data mesh that have inspired her to start a company to address them head-on.

Zhamak Dehghani (CEO & Founder of Next Data) discusses why she started Next Data, and how her company will finally help Data Mesh become a reality.

Welcome to our worst episode ever! But also pretty fun.

Joe Reis and Matt Housley are back for another listener Q&A. They chat about the demise of the Modern Data Stack, architecture, data modeling, AI, and much more.

This is a bit of a different episode, but it's a topic that is long overdue for discussion. Between long hours sitting in front of a monitor, "hustle culture", and prevalent alcohol and drug use, our profession is literally killing us. The negative effects on health and wellness among techies are insane. We've seen our friends go to the ER from stress, diet, and lifestyle-related emergencies. We've lost other friends along the way. Colleen Fotsch is uniquely qualified to discuss this issue. She is used to operating at the highest levels of sports, being an NCAA D1-champion swimmer, multiple-time CrossFit Games athlete and coach, and former US Bobsled team member. She also works as a data analyst and part-time coach for Opex, a leader in fitness education coaching (she's Joe's coach). It's time we wake up and look at how we can improve our health and wellness, and bring our best selves to our work and life. Colleen's IG: https://www.instagram.com/colleenfotsch/?hl=en

The data job market is certainly evolving. Matt, Chris, and Joe have a candid chat and AMA about career advice going into 2024.

Multiple products, versions, platforms, targets technologies, formats, and locales? How do you make sense of the "multiple of multiples" challenge from a technical perspective? The "language of the business" and data in all its structured, semi-structured, and 'unstructured' forms helps drive this home.
John O'Gorman has world-class expertise in language, semantics, and tying this together for the business. We hope you learn something new from this episode.

Nadine Farah joins the show to chat about Apache Hudi's core primitives: indexing, CDC, table services, faster UPSERTs, incremental processing framework, and more.

The Modern Data Stack brought a lot of improvements to data workflows and practices. It's also 10 years old (AWS Redshift publicly launched in 2012, kicking off the MDS). Meanwhile, new advancements in streaming-first systems and architectures, ML, etc means we can start to see where things are going next.   What's next after the Modern Data Stack? We're not precisely sure, but we've got an idea.
