Summary

When Census started in 2018, the goal was to bring software engineering practices to the world of ops and data integration. The evolution of the data ecosystem is crucial for growth and adoption. Boris Jabes will host a conversation about data on Clubhouse, featuring CEOs from companies that make up the modern data stack. The first episode discussed why Census was built, the past, present, and future of data warehouses, and how data teams will change in the future. George Fraser mentioned that Fivetran's connectors are built around change data capture, enabling customers to update their data more frequently. Arjun Narayan emphasized the importance of understanding the limitations of materialized views and the need for a better coalescing strategy. The conversation also touched on the challenges of data provenance and the potential for automated systems like Fivetran and dbt to solve this problem.
