After 7 years working as Senior Data Manager at Criteo and as Head of Data at Payfit, and after interviewing 200+ data leaders for user research, I am starting to have a good overview of data stacks in action. So, by popular demand, I’m dropping here and there some advice on the trends I observed.
Earlier in March, I had two different calls: one from a former colleague, now head of data at Swile, and one from a friend, now head of data at Cajoo. Both had taken a new job and had to build a complete data stack, from scratch! I assume this could interest others. Here is the piece of advice I gave them.
Before we start, here is a Decision Matrix that you can use for benchmark purposes:
- Ease of Use
- Integration in Cloud environment
- Community & Documentation
- Governance Capabilities
- Pricing
To keep things simple, we’ll just follow the data, from source to reporting.
