Census: Data Accessibility with Boris Jabes

[https://i0.wp.com/softwareengineeringdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/BorisJabes.jpeg?resize=175%2C175] A data warehouse is a data management system that often contains large amounts of historical data and is used for business intelligence activities like analytics. It centralizes customer data from multiple sources to be an organization’s single source of truth. Getting the data from your data warehouse into the different applications used by your organization can be difficult. The company Census simplifies syncing your data warehouse with other applications. Census works on top of existing infrastructure and lets users pick destinations apps, map the data, and then handles maintaining live, in sync metrics. Because Census runs inside your data warehouse, data remains secure and is never stored on their servers. In today’s episode we speak with Boris Jabes, CEO of Census. Boris was previously a managing partner at Polynome and a Senior Director at LogMeln. We discuss the complexity of data warehouses, how the field of data analytics has grown over the years, and how Census makes data accessibility easy and secure.

Equinix Metal with Nicole Hubbard

[https://i1.wp.com/softwareengineeringdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/NicoleHubbard.jpeg?resize=175%2C175&ssl=1] A major change in the software industry is the expectation of automation. The infrastructure for deploying code, hosting it, and monitoring it is now being viewed as a fully automatable substrate. Equinix Metal has taken the bare metal servers that you would see in data centers and fitted them with supreme automation and repeatability. This movement to modern metal-as-a-service has brought with it specialty hardware configurations and options for customizability for cloud native applications. Equinix has the largest collection of interconnected data centers in the world. Their existing networking capabilities bring an interconnectivity to its bare metal product that enables global scale. Their server plans are high-performing, secure, agile, and have flexible pricing plans. They are also extremely customizable to fit unique use-cases and were designed for an automated devOps experience. Nicole Hubbard is a principal engineer in the Equinix Metal delivery team. Nicole was involved in building a world class cloud control panel on Kubernetes, running atop Flatcar Linux, to solve the security and scalability of a control plane for the Metal platform. She has been greatly involved in the success of Equinix Metal so far and is here to tell us more about it.

Common Room with Tom Kleinpeter and Viraj Mody

[https://i1.wp.com/softwareengineeringdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/CommonRoom_sq.png?resize=175%2C175&ssl=1] Digital communities have exponentially grown in importance ever since most of the world went remote. Basically every popular online forum, message board, chat app, and other online social aggregators were created before this new normal. Many of these platforms lack sufficient organization or are just outdated for a fully remote environment. If society continues to work fully or hybrid remote, then digital communities need to be optimally designed for a remote experience. Tom Kleinpeter and Viraj Mody are 2 co-founders of Common Room, a platform made to bring communities together and developed in today’s remote environment. Common Room is in its early stages of development and its details have remained secretive. In today’s episode Tom discusses the challenges with current social platforms, what we can expect from the first version of Common Room, some of its underlying technology and unique features, and how his team plans to promote and grow Common Room with organizations and consumers. Previously, Viraj led engineering organizations at Convoy and Dropbox, helping both companies scale their teams and products. Viraj was also a founding engineer at Audiogalaxy, where he worked alongside Tom, which was acquired by Dropbox. Previously, Tom was a Principal Engineer at Dropbox, and before that the CTO at Audiogalaxy and FolderShare.

Flatfile: Data Onboarding on Flatfile with David Boskovic

[https://i2.wp.com/softwareengineeringdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Flatfile_sq.jpeg?resize=175%2C175&ssl=1] Product teams sometimes double as data teams. They struggle through import errors, scrub long and complicated data sheets for consistency, and map spreadsheet fields on step 3 in a long instruction document. Data structuring and synchronization is a very real problem that product teams regularly overcome. Flatfile uses AI-assisted data onboarding to eliminate repetitive work and make B2B data transactions fast, intuitive, and error-free. By drawing on the experiences of their thousands of users, Flatfile automatically learns how imported data should be structured and cleaned. Their product saves product teams a ton of time setting up data and syncing it across workspaces so people can focus on using their data instead of fixing it. David Boskovic is the co-founder and CEO of Flatfile. He was previously the Platform Architect at Envoy, and CTO and co-founder of the startup Rainmaker. Eric Crane is also a cofounder and the COO of Flatfile, after being the host of Customer Success Leader and Product Manager for Envoy. They join us to talk about data from a product team’s perspective and how leveraging AI with Flatfile is removing barriers between humans and data.

Noteable with Matthew Seal

[https://i2.wp.com/softwareengineeringdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/MatthewSeal.jpeg?resize=175%2C175&ssl=1] Right now, more than 10 million people use notebooks like Jupyter in their workflow. Notebooks are open-source tools for creating and sharing documents with live code, equations, visualizations and explanatory text. Notebooks like Jupyter have exploded in popularity the past 5 years to become the standard tool for data science teams. They became especially important in 2020 because they facilitate easy access to explore remote data. As data scientists continue to work remotely, the demand for a great notebook experience grows. Matthew Seal is the cofounder and CTO of Noteable, a modern and collaborative notebook platform. Noteable was built with enterprise-grade security and protection, secure deployment options, and the highest levels of availability. Most importantly, it delivers a positive experience for collaborating remotely. In this episode Matthew talks about how Noteable started, why it’s different from traditional notebooks, and what it means to collaborate in today’s mostly remote environment.
