Paul Dudley @paulfdudley.bsky.social · 21/02/2025My father-in-law is a builder. It is difficult to get his attention in a magnificent space because he is lost in wonder. We were in a cathedral together years ago and I asked him what it would cost to build it today. I will never forget his answer… 'We can’t, we don’t know how to do it.' 020

Paul Dudley @paulfdudley.bsky.social · 06/02/2025New Fivetran pricing is coming March 1. Has anyone done an analysis of your usage and found the impact? Before this was official I ran into a few companies where they had separate MAR rates by connector (slightly different from the new stuff), and it was a nightmare. 110

Paul Dudley @paulfdudley.bsky.social · 15/11/2024Had a chat with a data guy today who had an interesting criticism of Fivetran's MAR pricing and it was not the one you would expect. Interested in people's takes on this, particularly those who are better informed/have talked to Fivetran about it. #databs 121
Paul Dudley @paulfdudley.bsky.social · 13/11/2024With the MDS bundling and the data warehouse unbundling (Iceberg), are we just going to end up with the same number of tools? #databs 010
Paul Dudley @paulfdudley.bsky.social · 13/11/2024Monte Carlo hosted a panel yesterday with enterprise data leaders from Okta, General Mills, and Jack in the Box. All of them agreed that data quality was very hard to get buy-in for pre-LLM and it's now front and center! 020
Paul Dudley @paulfdudley.bsky.social · 13/11/2024Many of our customers start with Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, or Clickhouse as a destination but a common pattern is a desire to start using those events elsewhere, we're excited to announce we can now push events to your Kafka topics! #databs 020
Paul Dudley @paulfdudley.bsky.social · 06/11/2024"Anecdotes are a lot more powerful than data. Data answers a question you already know to ask... you can pack a lot more context into individual anecdotes" Interesting perspective from Parker Conrad on a podcast recently. P.s. will I be banned from #databs for cross-posting from LinkedIn? 😅 560
