Data Lakes vs Data Warehouses, batch vs. real-time streaming, buy vs. build – the explosion in hybrid and cloud-native offerings has given enterprises the opportunity to revolutionize the way they manage and analyze data. Without a ‘one-size fits all’ approach available, however, navigating the landscape and making the right technology and architecture decisions can be an overwhelming undertaking.

In this session, Fred Bliss, CTO of Aptitive, will help guide you through the components of a Snowflake data platform in Azure, and help provide a roadmap toward understanding the pros, cons, and trade-offs of various technology and design decisions in the enterprise data space.

Fred is the co-founder and CTO of Aptitive, a data and analytics consulting firm in Chicago. Aptitive works primarily with mid-size to large enterprise organizations to develop custom applications, data pipelines, and analytical data platforms - all to help make data accessible and meaningful to systems and people who need to make sense of it. By taking a tech/vendor-agnostic approach, we help implement and architect these solutions using the best technology and tools that fit an organization’s needs.
