Request Disruption at LinkedIn [Video]

At our June Test in Production Meetup, we focused on chaos engineering. Ted Strzalkowski, an SRE at LinkedIn, talked about how his team is focused on resilience engineering.

“Part of that was we owned a lot of front-ends, so a lot of my disrupted sleep was due to downstreams alerting on my stack that I couldn’t do anything about. That made me interested in chaos engineering. I wanted to see what we actually needed to wake up for on the back-end and what we didn’t.” https://goo.gl/9BJ2bY #DataIntegration #ML

The Importance of Data Integration in Today’s Businesses

Few will disagree that businesses operate better and achieve more of their goals when they can use their data strategically. However, given how many forms and sources — think CRMs, ERPs, mobile apps, and dozens more — of data exist in today’s enterprise, assembling and making use of that information is easier said than done.

For years, companies relied on data warehouses with specific schemas for a particular use or application in the business. Marketing teams, for example, would use data to better understand the success of a particular campaign, get a clearer view into the buyer’s journey, or project the types and quantity of content they’ll need in the future. https://goo.gl/SEFHoN #DataIntegration #ML
