Modern Data Platforms and Pipelines – A long way from ETL

The “modern data” stack isn’t just about “big data” anymore – it is about a better way to acquire, store, transform, and *use* data. It's not the same problems, except “in the cloud”, “faster”, or “for more data”. Modern data platforms offer new ways to built data solutions and collaborate with stakeholders. Data stakeholders of all levels are invited to unlock the true value of modern data solutions. You'll see how these platforms don’t just let us solve old problems in new ways. Instead we'll explore how they change the way we manage and develop data solutions. During this talk, we will cover the sea change of modern data platforms, from storage and query to development. We'll take a platform agnostic approach and explore real-world examples. Through these examples, we'll explore the modern data ecosystem, how the parts fit together, and the value each brings. We will leave with an understanding of how modern data solutions can address current pain-points.
