I just returned home after an intense week fully booked with speaker sessions about data. I was attending the SQLbits 2023 in Wales, which is basically the largest data platform conference.
Now I got a backpack full of new ideas, new connections and new knowledge. I was impressed about the whole data community actively sharing their knowledge with free videos, blogs or sessions. In one session called “keynote to the community”, all attendees gathered in the big auditorium. Some key persons of the community invited all attendees to actively share knowledge with others as well.
As I thought about this, I remembered the numerous times I was glad that someone wrote about a specific topic, explaining it and providing solutions. Especially in our very specialized area of data engineering, it is crucial to be able to access this knowledge.
Even if this blog may not be read by a hundred persons, it could help the one or the other in daily business. Maybe I just want to give something back, for all the thousands of blog posts helping me during my journey on data platforms.
Have fun!
