Hadoop and Streaming Data Technologies

The Data tribe at Sky Betting and Gaming runs and maintains their data warehouse solution, this seminar will describe how the team uses the warehouse and the business functions it provides. We will look at the Hadoop technologies we use and how they work, we'll also look at the newer streaming technologies we use at Sky Betting and Gaming.

DevOps in a Data Warehouse

Your organisation may be a high flying technology driven company, providing highly available reliable services to your customers. You may be mature in your devops adoption, maybe your local tech press refers to you as a unicorn. But somewhere in that organisation there may be some pockets resistance where the devops adoption didn't reach.

This is a story of how devops was brought into one such pocket, not by a top down strategic move but by a team of frustrated engineers who could see the benefits the rest of the company was enjoying. We proved even in a non traditional devops environment such as Data Warehousing and CRM it could still happen, this is how we did it.

About Andy

Lead Devop Engineer, Sky Betting and Gaming

In 2013 I formed the local Devops group to meet people who were also "doing devops" and soon realised that there was far more to devops than I had anticipated. I now speak at other local meet up groups and the phpnw unconf about Devops, Lean and TOC and how that all relates to flow. I've presented an ignite at DevopsDays Paris on running a devops group, I was also part of the Arrested Devops podcast discussing Devops Communities.
