Analytics Engineering

As the central data team increasingly becomes the bottleneck for data and analytics progress, more companies are starting to explore self-service options (#DataMesh). However, data teams typically fear self-service because how can they ensure that opening up access to data doesn't result in a disorganized and messy data platform (#DataMess). This is where analytics engineers come in. They are - often decentralized - data analysts who are familiar enough with basic data engineering best practices to ensure that data and analytics products are built robustly.

Key components

Our analytics engineering service offering includes the following key components:
