    Cloud technologies and the need for data professionals
    In its raw form, data is difficult to use and must be manipulated and put through transformations before its ready for the end user. Data professionals are needed for the process and thats why Data Clymer exists.

    S3 buckets vs data warehouses
    A formal data warehouse is entirely SQL compliant and built specifically for analytics and scanning of large amounts of data. Data stored in an S3 bucket requires manipulation through a lot of different pieces of technology in Amazon's cloud and coding.
  • 05:42
    The benefits of storing data in a data warehouse
    Not a lot of companies will be able to get data at the S3 level that scales with a lot of employees hitting it at the same time. Ideally, data should be in a data warehouse so that end users can scale all the things they want to without issues.

    The purpose of ETLs and reverse ETLs
    ETL tools enable companies to consolidate all the data from multiple data sources in a centralized location. Reverse ETL tools copy data from the data warehouse into business applications so that those systems can take advantage of data that they didn't have before.
