Join Shane Gibson and Nigel Vining as they describe and discuss the AgileData Engineering Pattern for the Data Match.

 

The Data Match pattern provides an automated, granular comparison capability to efficiently identify and report discrepancies between two datasets, moving from row counts to specific data values.

This 'data diff' solution transforms hours of manual data reconciliation into minutes by optimising comparisons for clo...

Join Shane Gibson and Nigel Vining as they describe and discuss the AgileData Engineering Pattern for the AgileData Activity Event Tile.

 

The Activity Event Tile pattern tracks a sequence of events (e.g., subscription signups, subscription payments) for a core business concept by storing minimal event data and using a hydration layer to automatically generate pre-calculated metrics as views.

This allows business users and analysts...

Join Shane Gibson and Nigel Vining as they describe and discuss the AgileData Engineering Pattern for the AgileData Event Tile.

 

The Event Tile Data Modeling pattern captures business processes and transactions within AgileData's three-layered data architecture, modeling "who does what" at a specific point in time. It achieves this by storing only a small number of core business keys in insert-only event tables. These event record...

    Model Wars

    On the surface, the modeling industry in the 80s was about parties and pretty clothes, but underneath the flash, there were drugs, sex, and violence. And Paul Fisher, a former straight-A student from the San Fernando Valley, rose to prominence amidst the turmoil. After a chance encounter with an alleged mobster, Paul suddenly found himself with a million dollars in funding and the chance to start a modeling agency in New York City. The city was then embroiled in a “model war” between industry titans Eileen Ford and John Casablancas, and Paul tried to make his mark. But even as Paul thrived in the party-heavy culture of the time, burning cash like a furnace, he came face to face with the darkest forces in the industry. As his shady backers put the screws to him, Paul faced down deadly consequences, trying to make a star while saving his soul.
