Data scientist and engineer by training and a social justice activist by passion

Join us for the GOTO Night "Shifting Left to Improve Data Reliability with SLO Theory" with Emily Gorcenski. This GOTO Night is focused on ways to shift left with data through a tool-agnostic lens, and how this approach moves us closer to federated and decentralized data architectures like Data Mesh.

Date: October 28
Time: 5:00pm - 6:00pm CEST
Location: Zoom

5:30pm - Live Q&A with Emily Gorcenski
5:55pm - Thank you for joining us for this GOTO Night

Abstract

The tools and patterns for data engineering have improved significantly over the past several years, but the challenges around getting value from data have stayed the same. Business stakeholders continue to report that issues with data quality, data trustworthiness, and data discoverability are blocking the ability to meaningfully materialize value from data assets within a company. What leads to these patterns, and what do we have to do differently to address these challenges?

Borrowing the "shift left" approach to quality, security, and governance from the continuous delivery world, we can build better, more reliable data pipelines and systems. Using SLO theory, we'll look at ways to shift left with data through a tool-agnostic lens, and how this approach moves us closer to federated and decentralized data architectures like Data Mesh.
