Pete Hunt, CEO of Elementl/Dagster

The Craft Of Open Source

Data is the name of the game in today’s world. But with the amount of data sources today, how do you sift through and get the data you want? A data pipeline is the answer, and within that pipeline is a data orchestrator. Today’s guest, Pete Hunt, is the CEO of Elementl, the company behind the open-source orchestration platform, Dagster. He joins Ben Rometsch to tell us all about Elementl and Dagster as well as his career journey that took him across Facebook, Instagram, Smyte, and Twitter. In this current fluctuating environment, we can say it is a feat for a company to be able to raise money. Just this year, Elementl was able to raise $33 million Series B for Dagster. Find out how they are able to achieve this, what they are doing for data orchestration, and where they are heading in the future. Tune in to this episode to not miss out!
