Sometimes, an image (and a good metaphor) is worth a thousand words. That's why Federico Romeo Zambelli, the author and illustrator of "Howsnowflake.works," explains the workings of a data warehouse as well as what makes Snowflake unique using doodles and library elements. 📚 Check out this video for a sneak peek of the article. It's a high-level overview that prioritizes clarity over precision. If that bothers you, take a walk or pet a dog. 😜 #DataChef #DataWarehouse #Snowflake #OneKitchenOneTeam

🎉 Let's congratulate kiarash kiani on obtaining the Amazon Web Services (AWS) | Machine Learning—Specialty, the most advanced ML certification in AWS. Unlike typical AWS-focused certificates, this ML specialty covers core machine learning and data science principles, including theoretical and mathematical concepts. When asked what he enjoyed most about the certification, he said: "It's a great way to check up on your ML knowledge without having to dive into the textbooks". 🤓 ---------- Inspired to level up your skills?

It is always a pleasure to attend events hosted by our partner, Databricks! Chris Coutinho and kiarash kiani visited the Databricks office in Amsterdam this week to learn about the latest features and updates. Although there are always innovations, such as integrating Microsoft Fabric for simplified data connectivity and analytics and advancements in the LLM model, the highlight of the event was the Lakehouse Federation and the new capabilities of the Unity Catalog. Why? Because Kiarash and Chris remembered a past project involving transferring data from a database to S3. They realized how Unity Catalog could have streamlined the process, simplified complex data migrations, and saved time! The conversation was so juicy that Chris Coutinho will have more to share soon. Stay tuned for this! 👀 __________ 📢 Don't miss out on more updates and expert insights! For any help with Databricks, reach out to us! 👨🍳 #OneKitchenOneTeam #DataChef #Databricks

We are a remote-first company, so we're always striving to improve our remote workflows. Today, we’re excited to announce that Pejman Yaghmaie has developed a gift for all Remote users: "Who’s Off Today?". If you've used Remote, you know how amazing it is. However, keeping track of who is working and who is away can sometimes be difficult. Pejman Yaghmaie recognized this and decided to cook up a solution! 👨🍳 Want to use the extension? Follow these steps: 1. Download Raycast. 2. Sign up with your email. 3. Get an Access Token from Remote: * Log in to your remote.com account. * Go to the integrations page. * Find the section labeled "Remote API". * Generate a new token and copy it. 4. Activate "Who’s Off Today?" on Raycast: * Open Raycast and find the "Who’s Off Today?" extension. * When prompted, paste the access token you copied from remote.com into the field labeled "API Key". 5. Start using it! You will see an interface like in the image below ⬇ Thank you, Pejman, for this contribution! We hope you find it helpful in your remote workflow 😊 #DataChef #OneKitchenOneTeam #RemoteWork

Ferdinand De Grijs expressed gratitude as he wraps up a successful project with Saturam! In his reflection, he shared something worth taking a moment to consider: "The world is small, and the community of those who pour their love and energy into data is even smaller." Strong teams and a united community are more important than ever in these exciting data times. At DataChef, we contribute to this vision by prioritizing fast and tangible results, valuing team collaboration over individual ego, and acting like owners by taking initiative. We'd love to hear your thoughts: What approaches can individuals and organizations take to strengthen connections and improve collaboration within the data community? #DataChef #OneTeamOneKitchen 🍽️👩🍳

📢 Has anybody else noticed that this week, Datadog rolled out not one but two products focused on data operations? Here's what they do and why they matter, with insights from Bram Elfrink, our Tech Lead at DataChef. 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐉𝐨𝐛𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 (June 24, 2024) Helps data teams monitor Spark and Databricks jobs with: 🟣 Real-time Alerts for job failures and latency spikes. 🟣 Detailed Trace Views to resolve issues quickly. 🟣 Cost Optimization by analyzing resource utilization. Bram says: “Spark has a large footprint in the data engineering world. We use it heavily for our batch and stream processing pipelines. Being able to detect latency spikes before our end-users experience a negative impact is a game changer”. 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐠 𝐀𝐩𝐩 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫 (June 25, 2024) Enables teams to create self-service apps within their monitoring stacks, featuring: 🟣 Custom App Creation with UI components and templates. 🟣 Enhanced Incident Response to reduce response times. 🟣 Wide Integration with over 550 tools and platforms. Bram says: "Datadog App Builder makes it possible to act on insights directly within Datadog. This allows us to focus on the matter at hand instead of constantly switching contexts.” Follow for more Friday updates on the data world, and if you need help with these tools, let us know! 🔢🧑🍳 #DataChef #OneKitchenOneTeam #DataOps #Datadog
