There's a kind of funny (and painful) paradigm that exists in the data world: more data, more problems. As companies grow their data, there's more broken dashboards to find, impacted users to chase, and cobbling data together that happens. But what if there was tooling to make the scaling process a little less painful, and a lot more scalable?

Join Marion Pavillet (MUX) and Kevin Hu (Metaplane) as they share stories around scaling data stacks at a large and small companies, demonstrate how they used modern tools to help improve data lineage and accuracy, and discuss the power of metadata in improving data products over time. Attendees can expect to leave this session with new concepts they can use to frame problems faced by rapidly growing companies, a blueprint for implementing DataOps, and solutions to which they can map their own situations.

How do you support exponentially growing companies without breaking as a data team? The answer is increasing your leverage with tools and processes. This session centers around four principles to achieve this goal: 1. don’t reinvent the wheel, 2. make your own job easier, 3. save time for innovation, and 4. invest in onboarding.

First, the first data leader at Vendr, the SaaS buying platform with customers like GitLab, Brex, and The Washington Post, will share his learnings on building a stack and team that scaled as the company grew 10x from 30 to 300 employees in under two years.

Second, we’ll give a demo of how Metaplane pulls lineage and metadata from a modern data stack that is centered around dbt. By the end of the demo, you’ll know how to setup tests, extract lineage throughout your data stack, and triage data quality alerts.More details coming soon!
