SCD: Make events First class citizens in your data model w/ Timo Dechau (founder @ Deepskydata)
In this day two session, Timo Dechau (founder & data engineer @ Deepskydata) breaks down by event data deserves to be treated as a first-class citizen when it comes to data modeling.
There are still a lot of unknowns when it comes to data models -- especially when it comes to approaches. There are dozens of different approaches, but many of them don't treat event data as a first-class citizen. This talk will center around the activity schema approach, how it treats entity events as first-class citizens, and provides an innovative new way to model and analyze data.
