#213: Data Contracts: What They Are, Their Role, and Their Evolution with Shane Murray

When it comes to data, there are data consumers (analysts, builders and users of data products, and various other business stakeholders) and data producers (software engineers and various adjacent roles and systems). It's all too common for data producers to "break" the data as they add new features and functionality to systems as they focus on the operational processes the system supports and not the data that those processes spawn. How can this be avoided? One approach is to implement "data contracts." What that actually means… is the subject of this episode, which Shane Murray from Monte Carlo joined us to discuss!
