A step-change in building data platforms

To start this section, we’ll explain exactly what we mean by a contract-driven data architecture. We’ll explore how it is powered by using data contracts as the place to capture the metadata that describes the data, and we’ll see just how powerful it can be to create a contract-driven data architecture. We’ll show why we believe it is a step-change in building data platforms.

We’ll finish by walking through a case study from GoCardless, where we implemented a solution we thought was promoting autonomy but wasn’t as successful as we expected! What we learned from that greatly influenced our implementation of data contracts, where we have been much more successful in promoting autonomy through a self-serve interface.

We’ll explore the following topics in turn:

Building generic data tooling
Introducing a data infrastructure team

Andrew Jones

Andrew Jones is a Principal Engineer, author, and a Google Developer Expert. He has over 15 years' experience in the industry, with the first half primarily as a software engineer before moving into the data platform and data engineering space. He thinks a lot about how to build platforms - particularly data platforms - that drive the creation of business value. His work on building performant, efficient, and well governed data platforms that facilitate the production and consumption of quality data led him to coining and defining data contracts, and in 2023 he authored the seminal book on the topic, Driving Data Quality with Data Contracts. Andrew is a regular speaker and writer, and passionate about helping organizations get the most value from data.

Ever wonder why speech recognition systems don't understand the Scottish accent, or what would happen if an astronaut only ate mac 'n' cheese, or other spurious reflections you'd have at a bar? We did, then collated those deliberations into absurd research articles with fake figures and methodologies inspired by even more fictionally absurd studies.
