Description

With its widespread popularity and success in the e-commerce industry, it is difficult to imagine anyone who has not at least heard of Shopify. This episode features Marc Laforet, a senior data engineer at Shopify, who shares his journey of how he transitioned from being a biochemist to a data engineer at Shopify. Marc explains the type of data Shopify works with, which is diverse in format and comes from different sources, and how the company determines which tools to build to extract the most value from the data. Marc also discusses data governance and explains two possible architectures: a gating process or a trust-but-verify approach.
