Why analytics engineering and DevOps go hand-in-hand

There are undoubtedly similarities between the disciplines of analytics engineering and DevOps: in fact, dbt was founded with the goal of helping data professionals embrace DevOps principles as part of the data workflow. As the embedded DevOps engineer for a mature analytics engineering function, Katie Claiborne, Founding Analytics Engineer at Duet, observed parallels between analytics-as-code and infrastructure-as-code, particularly tools like Terraform. In this talk, she'll examine how analytics engineering is a means of empowerment for data practitioners and discuss infrastructure engineering as a means of scaling dbt Cloud deployments.
