01 Maxime Beauchemin, Day1 Keynote, DataEngBytes 2021

The Rise & Downfall of the Data Engineer REVISITED Maxime Beauchemin Founder & CEO Preset. Original creator of Apache Superset and Apache Airflow. In 2017, I wrote two blog posts about data engineering: "The Rise of the Data Engineer" was an attempt at defining the emerging role , and "The Downfall of the Data Engineer" was exposing some of the challenges [and opportunities] around the role. 4 years later, it's a good time to revisit all of this and explore what has changed, from the tool landscape to the role & responsabilities.
