Description

Data powers Netflix. From creating original content to delivering bufferless streaming, the company relies on data to inform decisions and fuel experiments. Enabling all of this is a flexible and scalable (big) data platform running entirely in the cloud. Netflix has also built a rich ecosystem of complementary tools and services to support a wide range of use cases. Today, its data platform is robust and powerful, but it’s also complex and constantly evolving, which can be challenging for users. The company knows it can do better, and it’s making some significant investments to take the platform to the next level.

Michelle Ufford shares some of the cool things Netflix is doing with data and the big bets the company is making on data infrastructure, covering workflow orchestration, centralized alerting, event-based processing, platform intelligence, Jupyter notebooks, and more.
