Welcome to the Symphony, where our team of data engineering experts shares insights, best practices, and deep technical knowledge about building modern data platforms.
"Data is the new oil" — a phrase that's been repeated so often it risks losing meaning. But the analogy remains apt: oil's journey from messy extraction to refined products mirrors how modern data must be piped, refined and transformed to create value streams for an organization.
Data teams can learn a lot from software engineering. The same pyramid that guides unit, integration, and end-to-end testing for code also provides a blueprint for building confidence in your data pipelines
