Co-founder/CEO @ DataCater

  1. This high-level blog post discusses using SQL vs. Python for implementing data pipelines: https://datacater.io/blog/2023-01-18/python-vs-sql-data-pipe...

    TLDR: SQL feels most natural for joining and aggregating data sets; Python is favorable for filtering and transforming data due to its higher flexibility and extendability

  2. The last one I remember is this one from August this year: https://redmondmag.com/articles/2022/08/30/microsoft-blames-... It was not a complete outage but these DNS issues caused a lot of pain.

  4. I suggest to try thinking in terms of events instead of streams.

    You can extract data change events (e.g., INSERTs) from a data source, transform them with a streaming application (e.g., built with Kafka Streams), and load the transformed events into a data sink.

  9. Thank you! :) I updated the article with a note on privileged containers.

    Evaluating user code inside privileged containers is indeed a security nightmare. Fortunately, --privileged is not enabled by default, which is why I think that containers are quite secure by default.
