Uma Uppin delves into the evolving field of data engineering, exploring how it forms the backbone of data-driven organizations today.
Uma provides a detailed look at the strategies that enable businesses to turn raw data into actionable insights.
Critical components of data infrastructure and data quality were defined and the importance of tracking user metrics like acquisition, retention, and churn were explored.
Data engineering gathers events when a new user onboards a product and tracks their activity on the product and builds pipelines to compute the metrics across various time windows.
Starting with a data infrastructure and analytics team is advocated, the analytics team can swiftly build pipelines to analyze different stages of the funnel.
It becomes essential to establish a data engineering function that will build foundational core dimensions and metrics.
Observability is a vital element in building effective monitoring systems, allowing teams to maintain oversight and respond quickly to issues.
Two main types of alerting and monitoring systems are identified.
Organizations can build several key metrics to help them understand a product’s success.
With AI rapidly advancing, a company’s success will depend on its ability to build and integrate generative AI applications.
