โ You will likely encounter pushback when moving to the cloud. Moving to something new may seem risky and unnecessary to the developers. This requires a cultural shift.
๐ Here are some tips on how to tackle this problem.
1. Sync with cross-functional teams early and often. Train them so they understand the benefits of the cloud and are comfortable and knowledgeable using it.
2. Help teams understand the benefits, the project's processes, the desired goals and outcomes.
3. Identify a "champion" within the organization. Someone with authority who will fight for you when you get pushback.

I tweet about my data-journey and some tips and resources along the way. Follow me for more.
1. Was the database schema migrated correctly? 2. Has all the data been migrated? 3. How about user logins? 4. Can all of the users still connect and can users only access the data they're permitted to access?
๐ก Developers can focus on code and logic. They do not need to manage clusters or tune infrastructure. They submit #Spark jobs from their interface of choice, and processing is auto-scaled to match the needs of the job.
๐ก Data engineering teams do not need to manage and monitor infrastructure for their end users. They are freed up to work on higher value #dataengineering functions.
๐ก Pay only for the job duration, vs paying for infrastructure time.
Bored employees are super disengaged, prone to conflict and suffer burnout at a higher rate.
Harvard Business Review found employees who are learning at work experience less anxiety and stress. They are also more ethical than bored workers on autopilot.
All employees deserve to learn, bored, engaged or somewhere in between. Itโs your job as a manager to make that happen. Here are three ideas to create a learning strategy and become a manager whose people wonโt leave:
Invite your employees to schedule 10 minutes on their calendars every day to learn something new. Then, weekly, ask your employees about what theyโve learned.
IaSQL is an open-source SaaS that models cloud infrastructure as data by maintaining a 2-way connection between a AWS account and a hosted PostgreSQL database. โ
Connect an AWS account to a hosted IaSQL DB to automatically backfill the database with your existing cloud resources. No need to redefine or reconcile existing infrastructure.
One of the next challenges was to figure out how to index the exploding volume of content on the Web.
To solve this, in 2004 @Google invented a new style of data processing (MapReduce) to manage large scale data processing across large clusters of commodity servers.
