Over the next decade or so, we’ll see an incredible transformation in how companies collect, process, transform and use data. Though it’s tired to trot out Marc Andreessen’s “software will eat the world” quote, I have always believed in the corollary: “Software practices will eat the business.” This is starting with data practices. To understand modern DataOps, we can look to DevOps principles. DevOps completely changed engineering practices and philosophies like continuous integration and continuous deployment to close the gap between operations and development.
