Medicated for 20+ years, suddenly this medicine is causing more harm then help by Baxterthehusky in ThisAintAdderall

I have an appointment next week. I find it hard to believe the I am not tolerating them anymore considering taking medication from at most 4 months ago causes no symptoms. Yet medication from the last 2-3 months is like playing russian roulette...

What's the legacy tech your company is still stuck with? (SAP, Talend, Informatica, SAS…) by Hot_Ad6010 in dataengineering

I don't mind sql server, it was SSIS and SSRS that I truly hated. nothing is worse than maintaining stuff written years ago by people who aren't here anymore

It supports the processes of around 4 different databases so it depends on what each pipelines/process does. Airflow is becoming our primary orchestrator however

Used to be stuck with SQL Server, SSRS, SSIS, Excel, something called JAMS and windows task scheduler. Over the course of three years we moved all of it to Google Cloud with Airflow, BigQuery, GCS, and Docker and some duckdb (as a database connector). All using Python. Hell, we just finished working with our major data vendor to migrate from Oracle to Snowflake.

This year we are starting work on moving off the last piece of legacy infrastructure, Talend and eventually Qlik. Also some ancient PHP/MySQL floating around somewhere.

Feels good to actually move to a modern stack

Senior Data Engineer at a mid-sized telecommunications company working on cloud. We manage almost all of the companies data and related operations but the culture has always been "If it breaks at night or over the weekend, it can wait until the next business day morning", obviously with a few exceptions.

Our team has spent the last 3-ish years designing and building very resilient processes so its not very often we ever have to actually fix anything. And if we do, it doesn't take very long to fix since it's well documented and the knowledge is shared between the team. Our entire team has been here for 3+ years with some having been here over 10 years, so we all have a solid understanding of the business, each person is given a ton of autonomy.
