Matt Housley, co-author of Fundamentals of Data Engineering and co-founder of Ternary Data, speaks at Data Driven NYC about the industry shift from legacy big data tooling to modern cloud infrastructure.
“One of the things, one of the transitions that Joe and I went through, which I think a lot of people in this room went through, was the transition from the Hadoop world, from the previous big data world, into this new, like, cloud-based data engineering snack, and that has been a very tough transition, and it's also been hard for people coming into the field to find information about how to train as data engineers.”
