Frequently Asked Questions About Data Engineering
- What is Data-as-a-Service (DaaS)?
- Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) is a model where an external provider manages your data infrastructure — ingestion, transformation, quality, and delivery — so your team consumes clean, reliable data. DataShata operates as a DaaS provider, delivering production-grade data pipelines and business intelligence as a fully managed service.
- What is medallion architecture, and why does it matter?
- Medallion architecture organizes a data lakehouse into Bronze (raw data), Silver (clean data), and Gold (aggregated data) layers. It separates raw ingestion from business logic, enables incremental processing, and ensures data quality is enforced at each layer. It is the standard architecture used by Databricks, Azure, and most modern data engineering teams.
- How does DataShata ensure data pipeline reliability?
- DataShata implements comprehensive data quality checks using Great Expectations or dbt tests at each medallion layer, circuit-breaker patterns for upstream source failures, idempotent pipeline design for safe reruns, and Slack/PagerDuty alerting for SLA breaches.
- What industries does DataShata serve?
- DataShata provides data engineering services across e-commerce, fintech, SaaS, healthcare analytics, and logistics. The core data engineering principles — reliable pipelines, clean data, and fast analytics — apply universally, though we tailor our architecture to each industry's compliance requirements and data volumes.
- What is the difference between ETL and ELT?
- ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) transforms data before loading into the destination — standard for on-premise warehouses. ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) loads raw data first, then transforms it inside the destination system like Snowflake or BigQuery — the modern cloud approach. DataShata implements both depending on client requirements.
