Where did we come from? Exploring the explosion of interest in data and data tooling

Over the past 10 years, the data tooling and infrastructure world has exploded. As the founder of a cloud data infrastructure company in the early days of cloud computing in 2009, plus the founder of a meetup community for the nascent data engineering crowd in 2013, I found a place at the center of this community even before “data engineer” was a job title. It is from this seat that I can reflect on the lessons learned from our recent data tooling past and how it should guide development of a new AI era.
