The Data Stack Show - The Data Stack Show Live: Solving the Data Quality Problem

Episode Date: April 21, 2022

Don't miss our livestream event on April 27 as we talk about all things Data Quality with some of the best in the business.

on april 27th we have another data stack show live stream coming up we love doing these because we get to record a show live and you get to join and ask your questions to the audience in real time it's super fun we are tackling the subject of data quality on this show and i'm super excited we have people from big eye meta, Metaplane, LightUp. We're working on getting great expectations in the mix. But Costas, my question for you is, data quality companies seem to be exploding across the data landscape.

Why do you think this is such a big deal and has become such a hot topic and such a proliferation of companies starting in the space. Yeah. I mean, as we make it easier and easier for people to get access to their data, they start focusing on implementing insights and reports and even data applications, whatever you want to call them, on top of that.

And then everyone realizes that we are still like, let's say, host-to-usual, the garbage in, garbage out kind of situation. If your data is bad, no matter how good your outboards are or your application is at the end, the outcome is going to be also bad. So making sure that we have a good understanding of the quality of the data and how much we can trust the data that we have. It's quite important. And it's actually pretty tough also to do. Even refining what data quality is, it's not an easy task.

It's not an easy task to understand or figure out where data quality should live. Is it like a pipeline thing? Is it the data warehouse thing? Is it at the collection level of the data data or is it at the BI level? Like maybe it's on every place. We don't know. We're still like working on trying to figure out these the answers to these

questions and it's a space right now where like there's a lot of things happening, a lot of innovation. And I think it's going to be awesome to have all these great people in one place and see exactly, hear from them, their experience, what made them get into this problem space, what they've learned, and what are the challenges. So I think there's plenty to learn.

And I'm very, very excited and looking forward to chatting with all these people. Absolutely. You can register at datastackshow.com slash live. That's datastackshow.com slash live.
