    hi everyone Welcome to our event this event is brought to you by data dos club which is a community of people who love

    0:06

    data and we have weekly events and today one is one of such events and I guess we

    0:12

    are also a community of people who like to wake up early if you're from the states right Christopher or maybe not so

    0:19

    2:10

    not Chris right Chris is fine Chris is fine it's a bit shorter um

    2:18

    okay so this week we'll talk about data Ops again maybe it's a tradition that we talk about data Ops every like once per

    2:25

    year but we actually skipped one year so because we did not have we haven't had

    2:31

    Chris for some time so today we have a very special guest Christopher Christopher is the co-founder CEO and

    2:37

    head chef or hat cook at data kitchen with 25 years of experience maybe this

    2:43

    is outdated uh cuz probably now you have more and maybe you stopped counting I

    2:48

    don't know but like with tons of years of experience in analytics and software engineering Christopher is known as the

    2:55

    co-author of the data Ops cookbook and data Ops Manifesto and it's not the

    3:00

    first time we have Christopher here on the podcast we interviewed him two years ago also about data Ops and this one

    3:07

    will be about data hops so we'll catch up and see what actually changed in in

    3:13

    these two years and yeah so welcome to the interview well thank you for having

    3:19

    me I'm I'm happy to be here and talking all things related to data Ops and why

    3:24

    why why bother with data Ops and happy to talk about the company or or what's changed

    3:30

    excited yeah so let's dive in so the questions for today's interview are prepared by Johanna berer as always

    3:37

    thanks Johanna for your help so before we start with our main topic for today

    3:42

    data Ops uh let's start with your ground can you tell us about your career Journey so far and also for those who

    3:50

    have not heard have not listened to the previous podcast maybe you can um talk

    3:55

    about yourself and also for those who did listen to the previous you can also maybe give a summary of what has changed

    4:03

    in the last two years so we'll do yeah so um my name is Chris so I guess I'm

    4:09

    a sort of an engineer so I spent about the first 15 years of my career in

    4:15

    software sort of working and building some AI systems some non- AI systems uh

    4:21

    at uh Us's NASA and MIT linol lab and then some startups and then um

    4:30

    Microsoft and then about 2005 I got I got the data bug uh I think you know my

    4:35

    kids were small and I thought oh this data thing was easy and I'd be able to go home uh for dinner at 5 and life

    4:41

    would be fine um because I was a big you started your own company right and uh it didn't work out that way

    4:50

    and um and what was interesting is is for me it the problem wasn't doing the

    4:57

    data like I we had smart people who did data science and data engineering the act of creating things it was like the

    5:04

    systems around the data that were hard um things it was really hard to not have

    5:11

    errors in production and I would sort of driving to work and I had a Blackberry at the time and I would not look at my

    5:18

    Blackberry all all morning I had this long drive to work and I'd sit in the parking lot and take a deep breath and

    5:24

    look at my Blackberry and go uh oh is there going to be any problems today and I'd be and if there wasn't I'd walk and

    5:30

    very happy um and if there was I'd have to like rce myself um and you know and

    5:36

    then the second problem is the team I worked for we just couldn't go fast enough the customers were super

    5:42

    demanding they didn't care they all they always thought things should be faster and we are always behind and so um how

    5:50

    do you you know how do you live in that world where things are breaking left and right you're terrified of making errors

    5:57

    um and then second you just can't go fast enough um and it's preh Hadoop era

    6:02

    right it's like before all this big data Tech yeah before this was we were using

    6:08

    uh SQL Server um and we actually you know we had smart people so we we we

    6:14

    built an engine in SQL Server that made SQL Server a column or

    6:20

    database so we built a column or database inside of SQL Server um so uh

    6:26

    in order to make certain things fast and and uh yeah it was it was really uh it's not

    6:33

    bad I mean the principles are the same right before Hadoop it's it's still a database there's still indexes there's

    6:38

    still queries um things like that we we uh at the time uh you would use olap

    6:43

    engines we didn't use those but you those reports you know are for models it's it's not that different um you know

    6:50

    we had a rack of servers instead of the cloud um so yeah and I think so what what I

    6:57

    took from that was uh it's just hard to run a team of people to do do data and analytics and it's not

    7:05

    really I I took it from a manager perspective I started to read Deming and

    7:11

    think about the work that we do as a factory you know and in a factory that produces insight and not automobiles um

    7:18

    and so how do you run that factory so it produces things that are good of good

    7:24

    quality and then second since I had come from software I've been very influenced

    7:29

    by by the devops movement how you automate deployment how you run in an agile way how you

    7:35

    produce um how you how you change things quickly and how you innovate and so

    7:41

    those two things of like running you know running a really good solid production line that has very low errors

    7:47

    um and then second changing that production line at at very very often they're kind of opposite right um and so

    7:55

    how do you how do you as a manager how do you technically approach that and

    8:00

    then um 10 years ago when we started data kitchen um we've always been a profitable company and so we started off

    8:07

    uh with some customers we started building some software and realized that we couldn't work any other way and that

    8:13

    the way we work wasn't understood by a lot of people so we had to write a book and a Manifesto to kind of share our our

    8:21

    methods and then so yeah we've been in so we've been in business now about a little over 10

    8:28

    years oh that's cool and uh like what

    8:33

    uh so let's talk about dat offs and you mentioned devops and how you were inspired by that and by the way like do

    8:41

    you remember roughly when devops as I think started to appear like when did people start calling these principles

    8:49

    and like tools around them as de yeah so agile Manifesto well first of all the I

    8:57

    mean I had a boss in 1990 at Nasa who had this idea build a

    9:03

    little test a little learn a lot right that was his Mantra and then which made

    9:09

    made a lot of sense um and so and then the sort of agile software Manifesto

    9:14

    came out which is very similar in 2001 and then um the sort of first real

    9:22

    devops was a guy at Twitter started to do automat automated deployment you know

    9:27

    push a button and that was like 200 Nish and so the first I think devops

    9:33

    Meetup was around then so it's it's it's been 15 years I guess 6 like I was

    9:39

    trying to so I started my career in 2010 so I my first job was a Java

    9:44

    developer and like I remember for some things like we would just uh SFTP to the

    9:52

    machine and then put the jar archive there and then like keep our fingers crossed that it doesn't break uh uh like

    10:00

    it was not really the I wouldn't call it this way right you were deploying you

    10:06

    had a Dey process I put it yeah

    10:11

    right was that so that was documented too it was like put the jar on production cross your

    10:17

    fingers I think there was uh like a page on uh some internal Viki uh yeah that

    10:25

    describes like with passwords and don't like what you should do yeah that was and and I think what's interesting is

    10:33

    why that changed right and and we laugh at it now but that was why didn't you

    10:38

    invest in automating deployment or a whole bunch of automated regression

    10:44

    tests right that would run because I think in software now that would be rare

    10:49

    that people wouldn't use C CD they wouldn't have some automated tests you know functional

    10:56

    regression tests that would be the exception whereas that the norm at the beginning of your career and so that's

    11:03

    what's interesting and I think you know if we if we talk about what's changed in the last two three years I I think it is

    11:10

    getting more standard there are um there's a lot more companies who are

    11:15

    talking data Ops or data observability um there's a lot more tools that are a lot more people are

    11:22

    using get in data and analytics than ever before I think thanks to DBT um and

    11:29

    there's a lot of tools that are I think getting more code Centric right that

    11:35

    they're not treating their configuration like a black box there there's several

    11:41

    bi tools that tout the fact that they that they're uh you know they're they're git Centric you know and and so and that

    11:49

    they're testable and that they have apis so things like that I think people maybe let's take a step back and just do a

    11:57

    quick summary of what data Ops data Ops is and then we can talk about like what changed in the last two years sure so I

    12:06

    guess it starts with a problem and that it's it sort of

    12:11

    admits some dark things about data and analytics and that we're not really successful and we're not really happy um

    12:19

    and if you look at the statistics on sort of projects and problems and even

    12:25

    the psychology like I think about a year or two we did a survey of

    12:31

    data Engineers 700 data engineers and 78% of them wanted their job to come with a therapist and 50% were thinking

    12:38

    of leaving the career altogether and so why why is everyone sort of unhappy well I I I think what happens is

    12:46

    teams either fall into two buckets they're sort of heroic teams who

    12:52

    are doing their they're working night and day they're trying really hard for their customer um and then they get

    13:01

    burnt out and then they quit honestly and then the second team have wrapped

    13:06

    their projects up in so much process and proceduralism and steps that doing

    13:12

    anything is sort of so slow and boring that they again leave in frustration um

    13:18

    or or live in cynicism and and that like the only outcome is quit and

    13:24

    start uh woodworking yeah the only outcome really is quit and start working

    13:29

    and um as a as a manager I always hated that right because when when your team

    13:35

    is either full of heroes or proceduralism you always have people who have the whole system in their head

    13:42

    they're certainly key people and then when they leave they take all that knowledge with them and then that

    13:48

    creates a bottleneck and so both of which are aren aren't and I think the

    13:53

    main idea of data Ops is there's a balance between fear and herois

    14:00

    that you can live you don't you know you don't have to be fearful 95% of the time maybe one or two% it's good to be

    14:06

    fearful and you don't have to be a hero again maybe one or two per it's good to be a hero but there's a balance um and

    14:13

    and in that balance you actually are much more prod
