Are you getting the most out of your data platform? The technologies you choose are important, but even more so is how you put them into practice. Part philosophy and part pragmatic reality, I'll dive into our thinking at Netflix on technology selection and trade-offs, challenging everything (constructively), providing building blocks and paved paths, staffing, and more. I'll also talk through our tech stack, which includes many big data technologies (e.g. Hadoop, Spark, and Presto), traditional BI tools (e.g. Teradata, MicroStrategy, and Tableau), and custom tools / services (e.g. our big data portal and API). My hope (and expectation!) is that you'll leave with an arsenal of new ideas on the best way to get things done.
