NEW BLOG: Discover how Kroger is leveraging data mesh and data fabric to unlock data value. Your favorite grocery chain, Kroger, used data mesh and data fabric to get you better shopping experiences. Using Alation together with Databricks, Kroger has created a common language around data, with standardized governance and SLAs for products, as well as automated data profiling, classification, and access control. So how does this help? "Unity Catalog is used to govern data access and security, making data available in different technologies. Alation brings metadata to the table for self-service data access through features like the Business Glossary, wiki pages, and additional context about the data beyond just the structure and location. This enables more efficient decision-making across the organization." — Nate Sylvester, VP of Architecture at 84.51˚.

"Back after a break, ready to learn and grow!" 📈 Alright, let's break down this big data talk. It's like having tons of information, and it can be a bit overwhelming. Now, how do we handle it? We need some cool tools to make sense of all that data chaos. Ready to dive in and figure it out together? Let's make big data our friend! wait wait...... 🏖 Before we delve into the topic, let's first understand what big data is? Certainly! Let's consider a bakery shop 🛒 as an example: Imagine 🖼 you own a popular local bakery. Every day, a multitude of customers walk in, buy various baked goods, provide feedback, and engage with your services in different ways. Now, visualize all the data generated through these daily interactions – it's quite substantial! In this bakery scenario, big data encompasses the vast amount of information derived from customer activities. It goes beyond just the items purchased; it includes details like the most popular pastries, the busiest hours, customer preferences, and perhaps even feedback on social media. This creates a rich dataset that traditional record-keeping methods might find challenging to handle efficiently. To effectively manage and utilize this big data, businesses 👩💼, including local bakeries 🎂 , can employ specialized tools. By analyzing this data, bakery owners can gain insights into customer preferences, optimize inventory based on demand, tailor marketing strategies, and enhance overall customer satisfaction. In essence, big data enables businesses, even as cozy as a local bakery, to transform extensive information into valuable insights, fostering better decision-making and an improved experience for customers. 😍 "Hooray!
