There are several benefits of such optimizations like saving on storage, faster query time, cheaper downstream processing, and an increase in developer productivity by removing additional ETLs written only for query performance improvement. Some of the optimizations are prerequisites for a high-performance data warehouse.

Meson was based on a single leader architecture with high availability. In the data domain, it is common to have a super large number of jobs within a single workflow. For example, a workflow to backfill hourly data for the past five years can lead to 43800 jobs (24 * 365 * 5), each of which processes data for an hour.

A model isn’t source code, and it isn’t data; it’s an artifact built from the two. Given source code and the training data, you could re-produce a model, but it almost certainly wouldn’t be the same because of randomization in the training process. Models almost certainly react to incoming data; that’s their point.

A common theme across all these trends is to remove the complexity by simplifying data management as a whole. In 2018, we anticipate that ETL will either lose relevance or the ETL process will disintegrate and be consumed by new data architectures. Unified data management architecture.
