Building a Unified Metrics Layer with Open-Source Tools for Big Data
I want to explain the importance of having a centralized open-source metrics layer for data integrity, data aggregation, and query acceleration.
In this talk, I’ll go into detail on how to build a centralized metrics layer and accelerate data retrieval from PostgreSQL with pre-aggregations, including adding RBAC and security. It’s mainly targeted at back-end developers and data engineers. After the talk, you’ll know how to provide your front-end team with a centralized metrics layer with 3 different APIs to fetch data from while being completely data viz agnostic.
Making Data Warehouses fast. A developer's story.
I'll take the attendees through a story of when I wanted to build a Node app on top of a public Big Data dataset.
It's a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I use BigQuery to query for data and explain the pain points of querying it directly versus using caching and aggregations through the use of an open-source analytical API server written in JavaScript/TypeScript.
Here's a blog post I wrote about this topic: https://cube.dev/blog/data-warehouse-performance-and-how-cube-can-help/
