The Trials and Tribulations of Scaling Data Science and Engineering

At BuzzFeed we view data scientist and data engineers as partners working together to use our enormous data sets to understand a rapidly changing media landscape. Like any partnership there have been some bumps. In this talk we share what we've found doesn't work -- and should be avoided -- and what we've found works well. We'll also cover in detail specific strategies to make a better working relationship between data science and data engineering.
