StreamSets: A DataOps Approach to Global Data Observability
Girish Pancha, CEO, StreamSets, Inc.
DataOps is a necessary practice for delivering continuous data analytics. While many equate DataOps as “DevOps for data”, smart data pipelines are the foundation needed to enable a people, processes, and technology framework for DataOps.
