In the digital economy, application-driven intelligence delivered against live, real-time data will become a core capability of successful enterprises. It has the potential to improve the experience that you provide to your customers and deepen their engagement. But to make application-driven intelligence a reality, you can no longer rely only on copying live application data out of operational systems into analytics stores. Rather, it takes the unique real-time application-serving layer of a MongoDB database combined with the scale and real-time capabilities of a Databricks Lakehouse to automate and operationalize complex and AI-enhanced applications at scale.

In this session, we will show how it can be seamless for developers and data scientists to automate decisioning and actions on fresh application data and we'll deliver a practical demonstration on how operational data can be integrated in real time to run complex machine learning pipelines.

Delta Lake is an open source project that helps implement modern data lake architectures commonly built on cloud storages. With Delta Lake, you can achieve ACID transactions, time travel queries, CDC, and other common use cases on the cloud.

There are a lot of use cases of Delta tables on AWS. AWS has invested a lot in this technology, and now Delta Lake is available with multiple AWS services, such as AWS Glue Spark jobs, Amazon EMR, Amazon Athena, and Amazon Redshift Spectrum. AWS Glue is a serverless, scalable data integration service that makes it easier to discover, prepare, move, and integrate data from multiple sources. With AWS Glue, you can easily ingest data from multiple data sources such as on-prem databases, Amazon RDS, DynamoDB, MongoDB into Delta Lake on Amazon S3 even without expertise in coding.

This session will demonstrate how to get started with processing Delta Lake tables on Amazon S3 using AWS Glue, and querying from Amazon Athena, and Amazon Redshift. The session also covers recent AWS service updates related to Delta Lake.

American Airlines champions operational excellence in airline operations to provide the most delightful experience to our customers with on-time flights and meticulously maintained aircraft. To modernize and scale technical operations with real-time, data-driven processes, we delivered a DataHub that connects data from multiple sources and delivers it to analytics engines and systems of engagement in real-time. This enables operational teams to use any kind of aircraft data from almost any source imaginable and turn it into meaningful and actionable insights with speed and ease. This empowers maintenance hubs to choose the best service and determine the most effective ways to utilize resources that can impact maintenance outcomes and costs. The end-product is a smooth and scalable operation that results in a better experience for travelers. In this session, you will learn how we combine an operational data store (MongoDB) and a fully managed streaming engine (Striim) to enable analytics teams using Databricks with real-time operational data.

Summary

Making effective use of data requires proper context around the information that is being used. As the size and complexity of your organization increases the difficulty of ensuring that everyone has the necessary knowledge about how to get their work done scales exponentially. Wikis and intranets are a common way to attempt to solve this problem, but they are frequently ineffective. Rehgan Avon co-founded AlignAI to help address this challenge through a more purposeful platform designed to collect and distribute the knowledge of how and why data is used in a business. In this episode she shares the strategic and tactical elements of how to make more effective use of the technical and organizational resources that are available to you for getting work done with data.

Interview

Introduction How did you get involved in the area of data management?

Data platform building journey

Why are you building, who are the users/use cases How to focus on doing what matters over cool tools How to build a good UX Anything surprising or did you discover anything you didn't expect at the start How to build so it's modular and can be improved in the future

General build vs buy and vendor selection process

Obviously have a good BS detector - how can others build theirs So many tools, where do you start - capability need, vendor suite offering, etc. Anything surprising in doing much of this at once How do you think about TCO in build versus buy Any advice

Guest call out

Be brave, believe you are good enough to be on the show Look at past episodes and don't pitch the same as what's been on recently And vendors, be smart, work with your customers to come up with a good pitch for them as guests...

Tobias' advice and learnings from building out a data platform:

Advice: when considering a tool, start from what are you act

Summary

Encryption and security are critical elements in data analytics and machine learning applications. We have well developed protocols and practices around data that is at rest and in motion, but security around data in use is still severely lacking. Recognizing this shortcoming and the capabilities that could be unlocked by a robust solution Rishabh Poddar helped to create Opaque Systems as an outgrowth of his PhD studies. In this episode he shares the work that he and his team have done to simplify integration of secure enclaves and trusted computing environments into analytical workflows and how you can start using it without re-engineering your existing systems.
