Summary

The core of any data platform is the centralized storage and processing layer. For many that is a data warehouse, but in order to support a diverse and constantly changing set of uses and technologies the data lakehouse is a paradigm that offers a useful balance of scale and cost, with performance and ease of use. In order to make the data lakehouse available to a wider audience the team at Iomete built an all-in-one service that handles management and integration of the various technologies so that you can worry about answering important business questions. In this episode Vusal Dadalov explains how the platform is implemented, the motivation for a truly open architecture, and how they have invested in integrating with the broader ecosystem to make it easy for you to get started.

  • Hello and welcome to the Data Engineering Podcast, the show about modern data management
  • When you’re ready to build your next pipeline, or want to test out the projects you hear about on the show, you’ll need somewhere to deploy it, so check out our friends at Linode. With their new managed database service you can launch a production ready MySQL, Postgres, or MongoDB cluster in minutes, with automated backups, 40 Gbps connections from your application hosts, and high throughput SSDs. Go to dataengineeringpodcast.com/linode today and get a $100 credit to launch a database, create a Kubernetes cluster, or take advantage of all of their other services. And don’t forget to thank them for their continued support of this show!
  • Atlan is the metadata hub for your data ecosystem. Instead of locking your metadata into a new silo, unleash its transformative potential with Atlan’s active metadata capabilities. Push information about data freshness and quality to your business intelligence, automatically scale up and down your warehouse based on usage patterns, and let the bots answer those questions in Slack so that the humans can focus on delivering real value. Go to dataengineeringpodcast.com/atlan today to learn more about how Atlan’s active metadata platform is helping pioneering data teams like Postman, Plaid, WeWork & Unilever achieve extraordinary things with metadata and escape the chaos.
  • Prefect is the modern Dataflow Automation platform for the modern data stack, empowering data practitioners to build, run and monitor robust pipelines at scale. Guided by the principle that the orchestrator shouldn’t get in your way, Prefect is the only tool of its kind to offer the flexibility to write code as workflows. Prefect specializes in glueing together the disparate pieces of a pipeline, and integrating with modern distributed compute libraries to bring power where you need it, when you need it. Trusted by thousands of organizations and supported by over 20,000 community members, Prefect powers over 100MM business critical tasks a month. For more information on Prefect, visit dataengineeringpodcast.com/prefect.
  • Data engineers don’t enjoy writing, maintaining, and modifying ETL pipelines all day, every day. Especially once they realize 90% of all major data sources like Google Analytics, Salesforce, Adwords, Facebook, Spreadsheets, etc., are already available as plug-and-play connectors with reliable, intuitive SaaS solutions. Hevo Data is a highly reliable and intuitive data pipeline platform used by data engineers from 40+ countries to set up and run low-latency ELT pipelines with zero maintenance. Boasting more than 150 out-of-the-box connectors that can be set up in minutes, Hevo also allows you to monitor and control your pipelines. You get: real-time data flow visibility, fail-safe mechanisms, and alerts if anything breaks; preload transformations and auto-schema mapping precisely control how data lands in your destination; models and workflows to transform data for analytics; and reverse-ETL capability to move the transformed data back to your business software to inspire timely action. All of this, plus its transparent pricing and 24*7 live support, makes it consistently voted by users as the Leader in the Data Pipeline category on review platforms like G2. Go to dataengineeringpodcast.com/hevodata and sign up for a free 14-day trial that also comes with 24×7 support.
  • Your host is Tobias Macey and today I’m interviewing Vusal Dadalov about Iomete, an open and affordable lakehouse platform

Interview

  • Introduction
  • How did you get involved in the area of data management?
  • Can you describe what Iomete is and the story behind it?
  • The selection of the storage/query layer is the most impactful decision in the implementation of a data platform. What do you see as the most significant factors that are leading people to Iomete/lakehouse structures rather than a more traditional db/warehouse?
  • The principle of the Lakehouse architecture has been gaining popularity recently. What are some of the complexities/missing pieces that make its implementation a challenge?
    • What are the hidden difficulties/incompatibilities that come up for teams who are investing in data lake/lakehouse technologies?
    • What are some of the shortcomings of lakehouse architectures?
  • What are the fundamental capabilities that are necessary to run a fully functional lakehouse?
  • Can you describe how the Iomete platform is implemented?
    • What was your process for deciding which elements to adopt off the shelf vs. building from scratch?
    • What do you see as the strengths of Spark as the query/execution engine as compared to e.g. Presto/Trino or Dremio?
  • What are the integrations and ecosystem investments that you have had to prioritize to simplify adoption of Iomete?
  • What have been the most challenging aspects of building a competitive business in such an active product category?
  • What are the most interesting, innovative, or unexpected ways that you have seen Iomete used?
  • What are the most interesting, unexpected, or challenging lessons that you have learned while working on Iomete?
  • When is Iomete the wrong choice?
  • What do you have planned for the future of Iomete?
