All Hands on Data #67
Data Mesh, RegEx, and...Hard Drive Weights. Yes. You read that right. Check out those topics and more in this week's All Hands on Data!
Pioneering data observability: Data, code, infrastructure, & AI
"Reliability isn't achieved in a vacuum." Moses asserts that effective Data Observability monitors the interactions between Data, Code, and Infrastructure. These elements work in tandem to support a healthy data ecosystem. So where does AI fit in? "There's an exciting opportunity for LLMs to help with data quality, but the even more powerful thesis is that data quality and reliability can help LLMs." - Katt Baum
Regular expressions on Python | Master Regular Expressions in Python
No matter what language you're working with, regex can be a headache. Here's a great resource to help you write regex in Python. - Shawn Fergus
Are you ready to mesh your data?
Data mesh has been a very hot topic with very few folks understanding what it actually means. This article helped me understand what data mesh is and could help others do the same - Angel Catalan
Most metrics are conditional
Randy makes a good point that often times, people will make decisions to over-optimize towards a specific metric rather than thinking about the downstream impacts of these decisions. There's some great examples throughout the article related to product decisions that can result in catastrophe. As a data practitioner, your goal should be to help people contextualize decisions being made with an overview of the potential impact to the whole system. - Blake Burch
How much does data weigh?
I just couldn't pass up sharing an article where the author digs into how much a hard drive weights when data is loaded into it. Technically, and there's a very strong emphasis on that word, it weighs more! You learn something every day. - John Forstmeier
I built the same Web Server in 4 languages. Here's what I found!
I've always been a person that likes to do things versus theorizing about it. That is part of the reason that I think this article is interesting. Chris doesn't just talk about the differences. He actually went through the process so he could talk about it intelligently. - Steven Johnson
