Description

Netflix data infrastructure generates over a trillion events per day and stores over 100 PB of data. Data lineage plays a central role in the company’s warehouse for establishing data integrity and trust.

Using a variety of publicly known use-cases and practical data architecture, Di Lin, Girish Lingappa, and Jitender Aswani explain how Netflix built a centralized lineage service to better understand the movement and evolution of data and related data artifacts within the company’s data warehouse, from the initial ingestion of trillions of events through multistage ETLs, reports, and dashboards.

By establishing end-to-end data lineage across all data artifacts at an extremely granular level, Netflix is able to improve platform reliability by forecasting accurate job SLAs while also increasing company-wide trust in the data and enhancing the efficiency of the data infrastructure by establishing appropriate data retention levels.
