About this talk

🌟 Session Overview 🌟

Session Name: The 12 Factor App for Data
Speaker: James Bowkett
Session Description: Data is ubiquitous, and data-centric applications are on the rise. As the world becomes increasingly data-centric, and data volumes continue to grow, data engineering is becoming increasingly important. When dealing with petabytes of data, it's crucial to establish the fundamentals from the beginning rather than attempting to retrofit best practices onto massive datasets. This approach only makes an already challenging task even more difficult.

The 12-factor app played a significant role in defining how we think about and design cloud-native applications. In this presentation, I will delve into 12 principles for designing data-centric applications that have proven valuable to me over the years, covering four categories: Architecture & Design, Quality & Validation (Observability), Audit & Explainability, and Consumption.

These principles have consistently enabled our teams to deliver data platforms that are not only testable but also well-tested. The 12 factors also facilitate safe and controlled upgrades and expedite deployment in a secure and repeatable manner.

This talk will be replete with examples and counterexamples drawn from my career and the projects my teams have encountered over the years. It will incorporate software engineering best practices and demonstrate how they apply to data-centric engineering. We hope that our experience can help you create higher-quality data-centric applications that scale effectively and reach production faster.
