What is a data lifecycle? From birth to death, from source to destination, data seems to always be on a journey. If storage and compute were free or there were no laws like the “Right to be Forgotten” within policies such as “General Data Protection Regulation” or GDPR for short, organizations might never delete information. However, at scale data gets extremely expensive and customers do have liberties with regards to governance and sovereignty. Often it is the case that platforms have whole controls and procedures around the lifecycle of data. And in this episode, we will focus on the complexity of scale when it comes to the day in the life of data.

The first 5 challenges of #bigdataanalytics have been solved, bringing us closer to the end of the #datajourney. And here is where it starts getting real: Data Analytics. Today, there are struggles between operational and business analysis departments. SQL and ML functionality natively without data movement or duplication. How can you access and share the data timely, and efficiently, without data movement or duplication or an insane cost increase? Thomas Hazel shares his insights on how any organization can overcome this challenge, easily.

What are data platforms? A data platform (or more topical, “cloud data platform”) is an integrated set of technologies that collectively meet an organization’s end-to-end data needs. In totality, it enables the storage, delivery, and governance of company data, as well as a security layer for users and applications. The heart of a platform is an actual database where it might be better called a data “analytics” platform or in our case big data analytics platform. Learn more about data platforms and how the ChaosSearch platform solves the challenges faced in big data analytics.

To coincide with our overview, watch this brief demo on how ChaosSearch can help with your big data analytics challenge of data preparation & governance.

What are data destinations? In a very abstract sense, data destination is another input along the series of process elements in a data pipeline. However, when calling out an element as the destination, it is really seen as the final destination such as a database, data lake or data warehouse. And yet, any element within the data pipeline has aspects of a final destination (and scaling challenges).

Data preparation issues, particularly at scale, can be solved. How? Thomas Hazel explains in episode 2 of our binge-worthy #datajourney series.
