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
much because this is the time we usually have uh uh our events uh for our guests
0:27
and presenters from the states we usually do it in the evening of Berlin time but yes unfortunately it kind of
0:34
slipped my mind but anyways we have a lot of events you can check them in the
0:41
description like there's a link um I don't think there are a lot of them right now on that link but we will be
0:48
adding more and more I think we have like five or six uh interviews scheduled so um keep an eye on that do not forget
0:56
to subscribe to our YouTube channel this way you will get notified about all our future streams that will be as awesome
1:02
as the one today and of course very important do not forget to join our community where you can hang out with
1:09
other data enthusiasts during today's interview you can ask any question there's a pin Link in live chat so click
1:18
on that link ask your question and we will be covering these questions during the interview now I will stop sharing my
1:27
screen and uh there is there's a a message in uh and Christopher is from
1:34
you so we actually have this on YouTube but so they have not seen what you wrote
1:39
but there is a message from to anyone who's watching this right now from Christopher saying hello everyone can I
1:46
call you Chris or you okay I should go I should uh I should look on YouTube then okay yeah but anyways I'll you don't
1:53
need like you we'll need to focus on answering questions and I'll keep an eye
1:58
I'll be keeping an eye on all the question questions so um
2:04
yeah if you're ready we can start I'm ready yeah and you prefer Christopher
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is outdated uh cuz probably now you have more and maybe you stopped counting I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
