This guide outlines a series of best practices designed to make the lives of data engineers less stressful by fostering an environment where systems run seamlessly, maintenance is predictable, and value delivery is consistent. The techniques discussed not only make data platforms more performant and valuable from a business point of view, but also significantly reduce the risk of burnout.

In recent years, developers have created sophisticated tools to make the job of analyzing big data easier. Popular open-source tools for Python include Pandas, NumPy and of course there are math oriented applications like Matlab and R, as well as SQL for databases.

Without further ado, let’s review Domo, Sisence, Tableau, Looker, PowerBI, Sigma, Rill Data, Metabase, Superset, and Omni broken down by features we love and things that don't work.

Here’s how retrieval-augmented generation, or RAG, uses a variety of data sources to keep AI models fresh with up-to-date information and organizational knowledge.

Uber has one of the largest HDFS deployments in the world, with exabytes of data across tens of clusters. It is important, but also challenging, to keep scaling our data infrastructure with the balance between efficiency, service reliability, and high performance.
