Session
An open environment of collaborating parts is beneficial to mutually support growth. Whether they're internal or third-party, having collaborators offloads our concerns and multiplies our possibilities. Yet, we still face challenges when handling data that can be spread across this ecosystem. Specific protocols, different data structures and naming conventions, lifecycles… Most of the time, all we wanted is to grab a piece of data from a provider, cross it with an internal resource, and serve the result to our clients and partners. But those challenges slow down the development of the flow. Not only that, as time goes by, the flow simply breaks, and again we face again the same challenges to maintain the code. What a mess!
In this talk, I want to share some strategies to stand up to the mess created by combining data from multiple places, that hopefully bring us closer to our values and goals.
