The modern data stack: Tim Harrison speaks to Tristan Handy

As CEO of dbt Labs, Tristan Handy finds himself at the centre of the "modern data stack" of many leading businesses.

The past saw big data projects fail under their own weight: taking so much resource to build and redirect that needs could move on before results were available. The modern data stack is more nimble, value-centric and without the language walls between major players that stopped businesses from being able to experiment. The industry has evolved into a multitude of different solutions to specific problems but when does that become confusing and counter-productive and where will the solution to that problem take us?
