The True Value of a Data Presentation Layer

As data engineers, we love comparing different tools. 

And talking about technical things.

But at the end of the day, our job boils down to delivering insights to a business.

The ultimate goal is to help stakeholders make better decisions so they can grow the businesses we work at.

How we get there isn’t always as important as we think it is.

With that perspective in mind, in today's video we're going to talk about one strategic element you can add to your data pipeline to better reach that goal.

And that is creating a Presentation Layer. 

This is something I've covered in other videos, but want to talk about more in detail today.

In particular, we’ll talk about it’s primary value, different approaches you can take, as well as considerations to keep in mind as you go about adding this to your own project. 

Key Topics We'll Cover: 

1. The purpose (and value) of a Presentation Layer
2. Common approaches teams take to deliver it
3. Things to consider before settling on a final design

Enjoy.
