How to End the Long tail of Most Data Requests | Narrator

ABOUT THE TALK:
Modern data stacks focus on the most common use-cases and dashboards, but what about all the ad-hoc requests that come? The current tool set fails to allow data analysts to iterate easily with stakeholders. In this talk, we will discuss that without an ad-hoc layer, data analysts are left to answer questions with hacky live SQL or have every request go through the resource-intensive and expensive production processes and workflows.

An ad-hoc layer solves this by allowing data analysts to answer data questions, change their mind, and deliver data dumps or simple analyses incredibly fast and reliably. Allowing them to prioritize putting it into production only if it needs to be reused.
