lakeFS Acquires DVC, Uniting Data Version Control Pioneers to Accelerate AI-Ready Data
The lakehouse architecture has become the backbone of modern big data operations, but it comes with specific issues. The challenge of data versioning arises in various DataOps areas, including: Fortunately, open-source tools can help overcome these issues. In this article, we’ll demonstrate how by implementing Git-like semantics, Delta Lake and lakeFS can work together to […]
Machine learning teams face many hurdles, from data sources with missing values to experiment reproducibility issues. MLflow is a tool that makes this easier. And Databricks makes working with it even more straightforward, thanks to its managed MLflow offering. Managed MLflow expands the capabilities of MLflow, with an emphasis on dependability, security, and scalability. Keep
It may be tempting to think large language models (LLMs) can provide commercial value without any additional work, but this is a rare case. Businesses can make the most of these models by adding their own data. To do this, teams can use a technique called retrieval augmented generation (RAG). What is a RAG pipeline
One common problem data teams face today is how to avoid stepping on teammates’ toes when working in data environments. Data assets are often handled like a shared folder that anybody can access, edit, and write to. This causes conflicting changes or accidental overrides, leading to data inconsistencies or loss of work. But this problem
Continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) helps software developers adhere to security and consistency standards in their code while meeting business requirements. Today, CI/CD is also one of the data engineering best practices teams use to keep their data pipelines efficient in delivering high-quality data. What is a CI/CD pipeline and how do you implement it? Keep
Quality can start from the moment you write your code in a notebook. Unit testing is a great approach to making the code in your notebooks more consistent and of higher quality. In general, unit testing – the practice of testing self-contained code units, such as functions, frequently and early – is a good practice
Building a data pipeline is a smart move for data engineers in any organization. A strong data pipeline guarantees that the information is clean, consistent, and dependable. It automates discovering and fixing issues, ensuring high data quality and integrity and preventing your company from making poor decisions based on inaccurate data. This article dives into
The massive increase in generated data presents a serious challenge to organizations looking to unlock value from their data sets. Data practitioners have to deal with many consequences of the huge data volume, including manageability and collaboration. This is where data versioning can help. Data version control is crucial because it allows data teams to
ETL testing is critical in integrating and migrating your data to a new system. It acts as a safety net for your data, assuring completeness, accuracy, and dependability to improve your decision-making abilities. ETL testing may be complex owing to the volume of data involved. Furthermore, the data is almost always varied, adding an extra
Despite data technology advancements, many organizations still struggle to access outdated mainframe data. Most of the time, you’re looking at siloed data architecture that just doesn’t align with their strategic goals. At the same time, organizations are under pressure from their competitors. A good data strategy enables companies to go beyond function-specific and interdepartmental analytics
TL;DR In the previous blog, Introducing the LangChain lakeFS Loader, and sample notebook, we explained and demonstrated integration of lakeFS with LangChain and LLM models (specifically OpenAI models). In this blog, we will explore a new beta feature from OpenAI that enables reproducible responses from a model. Introduction Language models are Stochastic models (stochastic refers
Efficient data management is a critical component of any modern organization. As data volumes grow and data sources become more diverse, the need for robust data catalog solutions becomes increasingly evident. Recognizing this need, lakeFS, an open-source data lake management platform, has integrated with Unity Catalog, a comprehensive data catalog solution by Databricks. In this
