Hi all, So something that really drew my attention recently is a "data portal" as described by a team from airbnb somewhere in May. The idea is basically a "facebook of data":
https://medium.com/airbnb-engineering/democratizing-data-at-airbnb-852d76c51770 Unfortunately it looks like it's not going to be opensourced due to how heavily integrated it is with their specific infrastructure; but the idea itself to me sounds like it's something every organization of a certain size should have to keep track of data and stay informed as an organization. Based on the descriptions, I prototyped some things away and am happy with the results and the speed that something like this can be constructed. I'm now working on sql scanners, extractors and other tools that allow me to populate the database and put a poc together on some real data. If other people have similar concerns in their organization and think this would be a great thing to have, reply to me or the list; with sufficient interest I may set up a web chat/meet session so this can be discussed in more detail and find ways to progress this. Best regards, Gerard
