Find Out What Kinds of Challenges We Tackle Every Day

Most software developers acknowledge automated testing as an essential part of their work. Yet, we often see developers who work on data transformations in ETL pipelines omitting automated testing from their process.

More Concise Data Transformation Tests

We do a lot with data at VideoAmp. Our data is not just for use by data scientists, but also data engineers, developers and product owners. Providing access to our data for all who needed it was difficult since we had many disparate data sets with different methods of querying the data. Prior to using Dremio, we had to setup a Jupyter notebook which was capable of joining these datasets in Spark across our HDFS, Postgres, CSV, and other data sets.

Profiles of Innovation: Arriving at Continuous Integration and Deployment: From ECS to Kubernetes Using Docker

Some changes in software engineering happen quickly that you expect to take a long time. Our mongo to postgres migration is one example where we thought it would take a quarterand it took just a few weeks despite the ginormous codebase. Our transition from ES6 to Typescript was a similar endeavor which produced tremendous value with a small initial investment.

Profiles of Innovation: Why Typescript?

The VideoAmp data engineering department was undergoing pivotal change last fall. The team at the time consisted of three data engineers and a system engineer who worked closely with us. We determined as a team how to prioritize our technical debt.
