Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Let’s start with brief introductions and backgrounds. Elliot & Jeremy please introduce yourselves.
Topic 2 - As mentioned you both met and worked together at Instacart. Let’s introduce the concept of data quality and integrity to those who may not be familiar. What patterns and problems did you see. Any possible horror stories you can share?
Topic 3 - Up until now, I’ve seen big data often more about finding the needle in the haystack. It’s in there somewhere, you just have to find it. But, what if it is the wrong needle?
Topic 4 - Are we also talking about data drift over time as the amount of data grows? As data is added to the pool, we may come to different conclusions. How do we know if the new conclusions are based on good data or bad data?
Topic 5 - You recently announced a partnership with Snowflake. This makes sense, why build another data lake and that of course may be a barrier of entry to some, correct? Are we reaching a point with big data and data lakes that we can have one single source of truth? I know we are in early days but how do most customers approach big data today and how do they keep the data sets up to date.

WE WISH WE KNEW MORE ABOUT OUR AUDIENCE, AT A PERSONAL LEVEL
We have listeners from 130+ countries. Unfortunately podcast tools don’t give us individualized information about our audience. Over the last 5 weeks, we had 19 listeners from Ukraine. This past week, we had 0. We hope that they are all safe.
YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN A JOB WILL BE A GREAT JOB, GOOD JOB, OR BAD JOB
Over the years, Aaron and I have changed jobs within the tech industry several times. Sometimes we stayed for a little while and sometimes much longer. You never know how a specific job will be going into it, and sometimes it’s hard to have perspective on it while you’re in the job. The best you can hope for is a few great teams, or great projects, or working with great people, to offset that lots of things in tech don’t pan out like they are expected.

Technology and Teams Going in Different Directions
We’re at an interesting crossroads. Technology is becoming more distributed, and yet the teams managing it are having to become more integrated. For successful companies, this is creating a different way to think about “platform” services.

SHOW NOTES:
LOCATIONS, INFRASTRUCTURE AND APPLICATIONS ARE BECOMING MORE DISTRIBUTED
Data Center to Cloud. Zero-Trust Networks. Users (internal and external) are everywhere. Application Services are managed, or reached via an API.
WHAT DOES THE LAYER ABOVE INFRASTRUCTURE LOOK LIKE NOW?
We know that infrastructure is now “Cloud” and often managed by someone else, but what do we call the stuff about it? Some of it is Applications, some of it is Application-Services, and then there is a bunch of stuff that crosses boundaries between networking, security, API governance, application acceleration, etc..
