Organizations today want to make data-driven decisions. The data could lie in multiple source systems, such as line of business applications, log files, connected devices, social media, and many more. As organizations adopt software as a service (SaaS) applications, data becomes increasingly fragmented and trapped in different “data islands.” To make decision-making easier, organizations are […]

While creating data lakes on the cloud, the data catalog is crucial to centralize metadata and make the data visible, searchable, and queryable for users. With the recent exponential growth of data volume, it becomes much more important to optimize data layout and maintain the metadata on cloud storage to keep the value of data […]

Data quality plays an important role while building an extract, transform, and load (ETL) pipeline for sending data to downstream analytical applications and machine learning (ML) models. The analogy “garbage in, garbage out” is apt at describing why it’s important to filter out bad data before further processing. Continuously monitoring data quality and comparing it […]

In essence, development teams follow CI/CD processes to […]
