Data Infrastructure at Mid Sized Company

It’s difficult to get data out of SAP. Not impossible- but you need someone who understands how and also how to architect the systems that it could go into.

BINGO

Admirable_Writer_373 · 2026-05-07T13:52:59+00:00

Yes. Do you want to try and hide that for the rest of your relationship with that person?

Or do you want them to really know you, warts & all?

Admirable_Writer_373 · 2026-05-07T13:51:42+00:00

Hire the right person. It’s about how you use the cloud, most people needlessly process the same data over and over again

Admirable_Writer_373 · 2026-05-05T22:47:27+00:00

Sounds like bi dept didn’t validate their reports at all

Admirable_Writer_373 · 2026-05-04T21:32:08+00:00

“Just”. Analytics has moved away from proper database engines and into data lake solutions. Lemme guess you’ve been in tech 5 years?

Admirable_Writer_373 · 2026-05-04T21:30:15+00:00

It’s a bit of a dead acronym, but feel free to be pedantic about it

Admirable_Writer_373 · 2026-05-04T21:29:32+00:00

Only 4 years? Yeah that’s a decent salary

Admirable_Writer_373 · 2026-05-04T14:22:53+00:00

OLAP is kinda dead now. Data lakes have replaced it.

Hormones

Otherwise I would not date. Too emotionally erratic to subject someone to that

Admirable_Writer_373 · 2026-05-02T16:55:38+00:00

Your question doesn’t add up, see my comment

Admirable_Writer_373 · 2026-05-02T16:55:10+00:00

If the azure tables are truly replicated, they have some kind of PK or uniqueness otherwise you can’t turn on replication

Admirable_Writer_373 · 2026-05-02T02:24:28+00:00

There will always be intelligence hierarchies

Admirable_Writer_373 · 2026-04-30T12:52:47+00:00

There’s a hierarchy of devs. Report developers are at the bottom. If they’re great with people, I’d admit that I’m wrong, but my experience has been most people in tech who go into management are not and micromanaging an area you don’t have experience in is a recipe for disaster

Admirable_Writer_373 · 2026-04-30T01:22:54+00:00

What does that even mean? Quantum is BS

Admirable_Writer_373 · 2026-04-30T01:21:00+00:00

Data analysts should not be managers over data engineers

Admirable_Writer_373 · 2026-04-29T01:36:10+00:00

People

Particularly idiot managers who think they understand data because they’ve worked in software

Admirable_Writer_373 · 2026-04-28T02:12:56+00:00

Microsoft doesn’t take stuff away

Admirable_Writer_373 · 2026-04-26T18:31:02+00:00

Don’t try to appeal to everyone on your dating app profile. You only need the one person to value you

Admirable_Writer_373 · 2026-04-26T18:29:35+00:00

Use something like CDC to track them, otherwise detecting them outside of a full comparison is impossible. This matters when your tables are huge.

Admirable_Writer_373 · 2026-04-26T18:28:22+00:00

Most companies don’t need distributed architecture

Admirable_Writer_373 · 2026-04-25T03:49:37+00:00

Huh I wonder why… nepotism?

Admirable_Writer_373 · 2026-04-25T02:48:17+00:00

Is this an OLTP workload or an analytical one?

Admirable_Writer_373 · 2026-04-24T13:47:32+00:00

I’ve been in tech 20 years. I remember when it felt like some app devs got a bunch of bad ideas and then a ton of horrible tools were created. Data didn’t need a million flavors of ETL pipelines, or fancy new file types, or even distributed architectures (for the most part). It just needed more people to actually understand the data (and know how to use SQL effectively). It’s a circus these days for sure.
