31:36

In this episode of The Data Engineering Show, host Benjamin and co-host Eldad sit with Yingjun Wu , founder and CEO of Rising Wave , to explore the evolution of stream processing systems and the innovations his company is bringing to the space. What you’ll learn: Yingjun's journey from academic research in stream processing to founding Rising Wave, and the challenges of building trust in a new database system. How Rising Wave's architecture, using S3 as primary storage, delivers second-level scalability, while other systems can take hours to scale. The competitive landscape of stream processing, with Rising Wave's Postgres compatibility providing a significant advantage in ease of use. How one major company reduced its CPU requirements from 20,000 to just 600 by switching from a traditional stream processing system to Rising Wave. The rising importance of Apache Iceberg as a destination for stream processing output, helping companies avoid vendor lock-in. How streaming systems fit into modern data stacks, especially as companies seek to avoid being locked into proprietary systems. Yingjun Wu is the founder and CEO of Rising Wave, a stream processing system built in Rust and designed with a cloud-native architecture. With a PhD focused on stream processing and database systems, Yingjun previously worked at Redshift and IBM Research before founding Rising Wave. His company has developed a system that achieves significant performance and resource efficiency advantages over traditional stream processing solutions, while maintaining Postgres compatibility for ease of use. Episode Highlights: The Origins of Rising Wave (00:30) Yingjun shares his background in stream processing from his PhD days and explains how his experience at Redshift revealed the need for better stream processing solutions, especially since many data warehouse workloads involve data ingested from streaming sources like Kinesis or Kafka. Building a System from Scratch (04:10) Yingjun describes the challenging first 2-3 years of developing Rising Wave without customers, highlighting how trust is a major barrier for new database systems. After 2.5 years, they secured their first customers, including a startup and several larger companies, which helped establish Rising Wave's credibility. The Current Stream Processing Landscape (07:47) Benjamin asks about the current stream processing space, with Yingjun positioning Rising Wave as a leader, particularly for SQL-based workloads. He highlights several key advantages of Rising Wave, including its Rust-based implementation and S3-based storage architecture. S3 as Primary Storage (10:27) Yingjun explains their decision to use S3 as primary storage from day one, despite its slowness and expense. He discusses how they've optimized for these challenges and would still make the same architectural choice today due to benefits like simplified state management and superior elastic scaling. The Business Model (13:52) Rising Wave offers open-source, cloud, and on-premise versions of its product. Yingjun notes that many highly regulated industries require on-premise deployment, including customers in the banking and aerospace sectors. Typical Users and Competitive Advantages (15:01) When asked about their typical users, Yingjun explains they directly compete with Flink but have advantages in ease of use due to Postgres compatibility. Their users are either new to stream processing or are migrating from systems like Spark Streaming or Flink due to performance issues or development complexity. Apache Iceberg Integration (19:25) Yingjun discusses how Apache Iceberg is emerging as an important destination for Rising Wave output, as companies seek to avoid vendor lock-in with proprietary data warehouses. He explains how Rising Wave typically performs ETL functions before data is sent to Iceberg tables. The Future of Data Management (32:06) The conversation concludes with a discussion about Iceberg becoming a "single source of truth" for data, with multiple specialized query engines potentially accessing the same data. Yingjun and Eldad share perspectives on how this shift away from proprietary data lock-in is changing the data ecosystem.

Revolutionizing Data Governance with DataStrato’s Unified Open Source Approach 23:36

לפני 6 weeks23:36

23:36

In this episode of The Data Engineering Show, the bros sit with Lisa Cao, Product Manager at DataStrato, to explore data catalogs and Apache Gravitino, a unified metadata lake used to manage access and perform data governance for all data sources. What You’ll Learn: How Apache Gravitino differs from others like Unity catalog and Polaris by being able to support multiple catalog systems. What the “Push-Down Permission Management” security model is and how to implement it across different data systems. How to maintain consistent governance across various query engines like Spark, Trino, and Flink. Why interoperability, flexibility and open source ecosystem are becoming an important dynamics of data infrastructure rather than performance benchmarking. How to evaluate new data tools based on their real-world adoption rather than the social media hype. If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe, rate, and review it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube Podcasts instructions on how to do this here [insert link]. Lisa Cao is a Product Manager at DataStrato, specializing in AI/ML product partnerships and developer relations. With deep expertise in data catalog technologies and open-source ecosystems, she plays a key role in developing Apache Gravitino, an ASF incubating project that provides a unified governance and security layer for diverse data systems. Her work in developing extensible catalog frameworks has helped organizations manage complex data environments across multiple platforms. Episode Highlights: What is Apache Gravitino? (01:24) Apache Gravitino is a meta-catalog that serves as a unified data governance and security layer used to manage different data systems. Lisa shares that Gravitino was the first to release an iceberg rest catalog and ended up open sourcing for the general community to use and as time passed, Polaris and Unity Catalog were also announced in open source. She highlights that although Gravitino, Polaris and Unity Catalog are very similar, Gravitino differs in that it is able to support multiple catalogs. Unifying AI/ML and Big Data Stack (03:15) One of the interesting things about Gravitino is that it offers more than just a catalog of data models and these model catalogs are the first step into looking at how to merge two worlds of AI and ML catalogs. Lisa shares the goal of effective management, that is, creating a system that can store and manage different types of data models, track changes to the models, and control access to the models. Simplifying Data Governance (10:49) Think of Gravitino as a “traffic cop” that helps to manage and secure data from multiple sources. It is crucial to have a system that provides unified access control across all data sources, allowing teams to manage access and data governance so that ML teams don't have to worry about access. Lisa says that Apache Gravitino is the system that makes data accessible to different teams and users while making sure that it is secure and governed appropriately. The Gravitino’s Query Engine Solution (21:34) Every query engine has its own way of managing data, which makes it difficult to switch between engines - you have to reconfigure everything. Lisa highlights that Gravitino solves the problem by providing a single layer of data governance that works across multiple query engines. Navigating the Fast-Paced World of Data Engineering (24:41) Lisa talks about how fast the data engineering space is moving and shares some insights to catching up; Don’t try to learn everything at once. Don't get too deep into every tool Look for real-world adoption She warns against the social media hype that can amplify the messaging around new tools, making it seem everyone is using it, when in reality, that can’t be easily seen.

If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe, rate, and review it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube Podcasts, instructions on how to do this are [insert link]. Hannes Mühleisen is the CEO of DuckDB Labs and a Professor in The Netherlands, renowned for co-creating DuckDB, an open-source analytical database system. With a background in database architecture and research from CWI database architectures group, he has pioneered the development of DuckDB as a universal data wrangling tool that can run everywhere from phones to space satellites. Under his leadership, DuckDB has achieved remarkable success, reaching 10 million downloads monthly and becoming a go-to solution for analytical database needs. His commitment to keeping DuckDB lightweight, portable, and hardware-agnostic while maintaining high performance has revolutionized how developers approach analytical database solutions. As both an academic and technology leader, Hannes brings unique insights into database architecture, open-source development, and the future of analytical data processing. Episode Highlights: The Purpose of DuckDB (01:04) Hannes gives a full description of what DuckDB is as well as what it is designed to do. He describes the tool as one that understands SQL and is specifically designed to simplify complex analytical use cases. SQLite vs DuckDB (02:53) Hannes compares two different tools stating that SQLite is an amazing system that is not meant for analytical queries but for transactional use cases while DuckDB is specifically designed for that exact purpose - analytical use cases. The Importance of Collaboration (08:14) Hannes states the need for community collaboration as the database engine space seems to have hundreds of brilliant people trying to solve the same problems. He shares his profound admiration for a team in Munich, praising them for their exploits in implementing concepts only described in paper. The Component-Based Architecture of DuckDB (11:25) Hannes highlights a special feature in DuckDB, that is, it can be used as a component and he explains that the in-process architecture is a success because of the memory of data sharing that can be achieved. The Parquet Reader Journey (17:51) Hannes explains how he built his Parquet Reader out of necessity, although he would have preferred not to. He shares how a creator named Ove Korn from Germany donated the reader to a project named “The Arrow Project” and managed it to the degree that the entire project depended on the use of the Parquet Reader and it became an issue to use both independently. Hannes adds that a parquet reader that is competent has no choice but to become a database engine which is one of the interesting things about development. The Role of AI in Database Interaction (22:41) Hannes states that he doesn’t think that AI has a place in a database engine but rather, it is needed for optimization because the researchers who built their careers on optimization are out of jobs. He explains that the role of AI should be for assistance tasks and not for a total execution. SQL - A Defined Interface (29:20) Hannes introduces us to a tool that allows us to pro-programmatically build a query called relational API stating that it helps to simplify the tasks of a programmer. Although, Hannes agrees that using a well-defined interface is important for components like databases, he also argues that SQL can provide a relatively defined behavior within a single system. The Golden Age of Database (38:57) Hannes concludes the episode by appreciating Firebolt and other engineers for taking on core engine tasks. He shares his excitement for the golden age of databases where there is a showcasing of what is possible. Quotes: “DuckDB is a universal data wrangling tool. It is a relational data management system that speaks SQL designed to do well on analytical use cases.” “We call ourselves the SQLite for analytics because it explains the original design goal of DuckDB very well.” “Within the database engine space, we are all working to solve the same problems, and that's like, a hundred of us on the planet.” “It actually turns out in order to make a competent parquet reader, you do need query execution. There is just no way around it.” “I really like this golden age of databases we are in and personally, as somebody who really likes tables and SQL, I'm quite happy to see things like firebolt and others really working on core engine stuff.” The Data Engineering Show is handcrafted by our friends over at: fame.so Previous guests include: Joseph Machado of Linkedin, Metthew Weingarten of Disney, Joe Reis and Matt Housely, authors of The Fundamentals of Data Engineering, Zach Wilson of Eczachly Inc, Megan Lieu of Deepnote, Erik Heintare of Bolt, Lior Solomon of Vimeo, Krishna Naidu of Canva, Mike Cohen of Substack, Jens Larsson of Ark, Gunnar Tangring of Klarna, Yoav Shmaria of Similarweb and Xiaoxu Gao of Adyen.

This time on The Data Engineering Show, Xiaoxu Gao is an inspiring Python and data engineering expert with 10.6K followers on Medium.
