Now Sampling: Hashmap on Tap’s 2021 Flight
Celebrating 100 Episodes with Some of Our Favorite Podcast Moments
“It just goes to show that no matter what process or business value you’re trying to achieve, data is key, and from the Hashmap and NTT [DATA] perspective, data strategy and data engineering is key on that as well.”
— David Hrncir, Regional Technical Expert at Hashmap, an NTT DATA Company
Did you hear? Hashmap on Tap released its 100th episode on November 30th, 2021. In case you missed the initial release, don’t worry — you can still grab a glass and catch what’s “on tap” for this walk down memory lane that’s brought to you by guest hosts, David Hrncir and Chinmayee Lakkad.
Hashmap on Tap is a podcast that highlights Hashmap’s commitment to inspiring dialogue in the data community with the goal of getting data and cloud done right. This makes David and Chinmayee the perfect duo to guest host this episode since they are both Regional Technical Experts and cloud/data engineers at Hashmap. Together, they serve up a nostalgia-packed flight of 12 podcast clips that were selected from past Hashmap on Tap episodes.
“Acquire the tools that work for you, know your use case, do what you need, benefit both your short-term, and hopefully long-term, data strategy. Start with a flexible, simple, shared approach towards your problem-solving. This is what we promote here at Hashmap and NTT DATA: Best fit.”
— Chinmayee Lakkad, Regional Technical Expert at Hashmap, an NTT DATA Company
To complement this carefully crafted flight, David is drinking a morning pick-me-up of Peet’s Organic French Roast coffee, and to round out her evening, Chinmayee is enjoying a nice cup of Organic India Tulsi Honey Chamomile tea with honey. While sipping on their tea and coffee, David and Chinmayee candidly share their perspectives, and partake in the occasional debate, on each of these featured clips that cover a wide range of topics in the data space including:
- reasons why Snowflake’s Data Cloud “shines” in comparison to on-prem appliances
- the importance of not underestimating the power of cloud computing
- where they stand on the case for ditching data lakes as proposed by George Fraser at Fivetran
- tips for avoiding option fatigue while still selecting the right vendor to “build your shed”
- how dbt Labs has become synonymous with data transformation and is using Slack to foster a strong data engineering community — join here!
Hashmap on Tap has had a variety of amazing guests over the course of 100 episodes. While it would be a spectacular (read: impossible) feat to pay tribute to them all in one episode, we feel like this episode comes pretty close. With that being said, Hashmap on Tap would not be where it is today without the support of each and every one of its guests and listeners.
Cheers to the next 100 episodes!
