How Zendesk engineers manage customer-facing data applications

This time on the data engineering show, Eldad abandoned his brother Boaz but it’s ok because Boaz got the full 30 minutes to talk to one of the most interesting people in the data space. Ananth Packkildurai is Principal Software Engineer at Zendesk and runs one of the strongest newsletters in data – Data Engineering Weekly. He talked about data applications at Zendesk and how they’re built, technologies that excite him like data lineage and data catalog, and the best routes for software engineers to get their hands dirty in the data world.
