A Federated Information Infrastructure that Works: Video and Paper

Take a look at this interesting presentation by our former colleague Xavier Gumara , good friend and great specialist in data and analytics.
Highly recommended!!

ABOUT THE TALK

Large companies are pretty much distributed/organized by business divisions or geographies that became part of the enterprise as new launches or via mergers and acquisitions. In this situation, it can be challenging to provide โ€œone source of truthโ€ for core business information at enterprise scale.
PAPER:

At Adevinta, after learning from our decentralization and centralization implementations, we evolved towards a federated information infrastructure that, while having some inefficiencies, ended up being successful for data collection, storage, exploration, transformation and aggregation at enterprise scale.
In this talk you will learn about:
- Our enterprise BI architecture and governance model and how we got there
- How are we leveraging central and local truths with Athena and Redshift Spectrum
- Our framework to easily calculate business metrics built in Scala and Spark
