For part two of this blog I’m seated in a café in Sydney Harbour in the shadow of the Opera House and in full view of Sydney Harbour Bridge. Why’s that significant? Well it’s not really, other than this is the 2nd stop on our Data Revolution Tour where the keynote I delivered was essentially on this very topic. Let me explain.

To build and develop an advanced data ecosystem is the dream of any data team, yet that often means understanding how the business will need to store and process that data. As Traveloka’s data engineers, one of our most important obligations is to custom-tailor our data delivery tools for each individual team in our company, so that the business can benefit from the data it generates.

We’ve all dreamed of going to bed one day and waking up the next with superpowers – stronger, faster and even perhaps with the ability to fly. Yesterday that is exactly what happened to Tom Reilly and the people at Cloudera and Hortonworks. On October 2nd they went to bed as two rivals vying for leadership in the big data space. In the morning they woke up as Cloudera 2.0, a $700M firm, with a clear leadership position. “From the edge to AI”…to infinity and beyond!

As an entrepreneur and a CEO of a startup, I think it’s vital to have a mentor. You often come to critical junctures and that’s when it can be invaluable to speak to someone.

I’m seated here on the balcony of our rented apartment in Chamonix looking up at Mont Blanc. It’s an incredible view but its beauty is deceiving and as anyone who has climbed knows, all too often the summit is not the one you can see. In the case of Mont Blanc, the perspective is such that the Dôme du Goûter seen in the foreground often looks bigger. I can assure you it’s not.

Dozens of marketers share the data behind their average session duration as well as the strategies that work for improving it.

Developers are a fussy bunch. We sweat on the tiniest details and every aspect of our product has to be just right. We don’t like entrusting our precious designs to anyone outside our inner circle. Yet we’re increasing delegating key quality assurance (QA) tasks to robots. The market for automated testing products is expected to be worth $20 billion by 2023 – three times as much as now.
