Only You Can Prevent Data Fires - Getting Proactive About Data QualityMany Pythonistas find themselves engaged in the work of tending and defending data, ensuring high quality data is available for products and analytics users. Much like defending a home against wildfires, there are proactive steps you can take to shield your data from disaster. In this talk you’ll see a comprehensive approach to data quality, implementing checks at various parts of the data lifecycle. You'll also learn a bit about wildfire preparedness along the way. If you’ve experienced the chaotic nature of real-world data and are looking for a way to quench the flames this session is for you.
There will also be a giveaway of two copies of Sev's book; Cost Effective Data Pipelines published by OReilly!
Lightning Talks:
Lightning talks are talks up to 5 minutes in length on any topic that might interest other Python people. See PyCon’s Lightning Talks description for more details.
