The physical data model shows how the relationships manifest in your data environment, but then there's the semantic data model, the way that entity relationship design is extracted away from any data-centric implementation.  Let's have the good old fun of talking about why data modeling is so important!// Bio Chad Sanderson is the Product Lead for Convoy's Data Platform team, which includes the data warehouse, streaming, BI & visualization, experimentation, machine learning, and data discovery.Chad has built everything from feature stores, experimentation platforms, metrics layers, streaming platforms, analytics tools, data discovery systems, and workflow development platforms. He’s implemented open source, SaaS products (early and late-stage) and has built cutting-edge technology from the ground up.

Data expert Chad Sanderson discusses modern data quality and management practices on this podcast. Topics include challenges with the modern data stack, rethinking data catalogs, AI impact on data, incentivizing engineers for data quality, and the role of AI in data semantics. The conversation also touches on data as a product, quantifying the cost of data changes, and the importance of slowing down to go faster in data management.

Data quality and data contracts are discussed by Chad Sanderson, an expert in the field. Topics covered include the breakdown of data quality, the concept of data contracts and their value, the tools needed for effective data contracts, and the importance of community in data quality.

Chad Sanderson, Head of Data at Convoy and a leading voice in data engineering, dives into the realm of data contracts and their impact on data governance and quality. He explains how data contracts serve as essential agreements between data producers and consumers, addressing issues like schema drift and broken pipelines. Chad also highlights the importance of aligning data practices with business value, advocating for Git-style governance. Real-time data use cases and the relationship between contracts and data mesh are also explored, offering insightful perspectives for 2023.
