I appeared on this week’s episode of the Data Engineering Podcast. I had never been on a podcast before which surprisingly was more difficult than doing a conference presentation for me. 🤔

My main points were that you can build your exact solution instead of what a vendor thought you wanted (without a ton of code), along with a general introduction to the architecture that is mostly me repeating parts of @Evan’s FDB Summit talk and other information from the docs and forum posts I’ve learned this last year.
