Summary
The core task of data engineering is managing the flows of data through an organization. In order to ensure those flows are executing on schedule and without error is the role of the data orchestrator. Which orchestration engine you choose impacts the ways that you architect the rest of your data platform. In this episode Hugo Lu shares his thoughts as the founder of an orchestration company on how to think about data orchestration and data platform design as we navigate the current era of data engineering.

Hello and welcome to the Data Engineering Podcast, the show about modern data management
It’s 2024, why are we still doing data migrations by hand? Teams spend months—sometimes years—manually converting queries and validating data, burning resources and crushing morale. Datafold's AI-powered Migration Agent brings migrations into the modern era. Their unique combination of AI code translation and automated data validation has helped companies complete migrations up to 10 times faster than manual approaches. And they're so confident in their solution, they'll actually guarantee your timeline in writing. Ready to turn your year-long migration into weeks? Visit dataengineeringpodcast.com/datafold today to learn how Datafold can automate your migration and ensure source to target parity.
As a listener of the Data Engineering Podcast you clearly care about data and how it affects your organization and the world. For even more perspective on the ways that data impacts everything around us don't miss Data Citizens® Dialogues, the forward-thinking podcast brought to you by Collibra. You'll get further insights from industry leaders, innovators, and executives in the world's largest companies on the topics that are top of mind for everyone. In every episode of Data Citizens® Dialogues, industry leaders unpack data’s impact on the world, from big picture questions like AI governance and data sharing to more nuanced questions like, how do we balance offense and defense in data management? In particular I appreciate the ability to hear about the challenges that enterprise scale businesses are tackling in this fast-moving field. The Data Citizens Dialogues podcast is bringing the data conversation to you, so start listening now! Follow Data Citizens Dialogues on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Your host is Tobias Macey and today I'm interviewing Hugo Lu about the data platform and orchestration ecosystem and how to navigate the available options

Interview

Introduction
How did you get involved in building data platforms?
Can you describe what an orchestrator is in the context of data platforms?
- There are many other contexts in which orchestration is necessary. What are some examples of how orchestrators have adapted (or failed to adapt) to the times?
What are the core features that are necessary for an orchestrator to have when dealing with data-oriented workflows?
Beyond the bare necessities, what are some of the other features and design considerations that go into building a first-class dat platform or orchestration system?
There have been several generations of orchestration engines over the past several years. How would you characterize the different coarse groupings of orchestration engines across those generational boundaries?
How do the characteristics of a data orchestrator influence the overarching architecture of an organization's data platform/data operations?
- What about the reverse?
How have the cycles of ML and AI workflow requirements impacted the design requirements for data orchestrators?
What are the most interesting, innovative, or unexpected ways that you have seen data orchestrators used?
What are the most interesting, unexpected, or challenging lessons that you have learned while working on data orchestration?
When is an orchestrator the wrong choice?
What are your predictions and/or hopes for the future of data orchestration?
