SESSION ABSTRACT –
What is a “modern data stack” anyway?

According to Google, “The modern data stack is a collection of cloud-native tools that are centered around a cloud data warehouse and together comprise a data platform.” But what does this look like in practice? This session will provide a high-level overview of an end-to-end “modern data stack”, with a particular focus on Databricks and DBT (data build tool) and using them to develop a template driven implementation of a data vault 2.0 style warehouse.
