Operational automation–including but not limited to, auto diagnosis, auto remediation, auto configuration, auto tuning, auto scaling, auto debugging, and auto testing–is key to the success of modern data platforms. We have also noted a great potential for further improvement by model tuning (see the section of Rollout in Production).

As organizations continue to adopt multicloud strategies, the complexity of these environments grows, increasing the need to automate cloud engineering operations to ensure organizations can enforce their policies and architecture principles. This requires significant data engineering efforts, as well as work to build machine-learning models.

We at Netflix, as a streaming service running on millions of devices, have a tremendous amount of data about device capabilities/characteristics and runtime data in our big data platform. With large data, comes the opportunity to leverage the data for predictive and classification based analysis.

It also improves the engineering productivity by simplifying the existing pipelines and unlocking the new patterns. For example, a job would reprocess aggregates for the past 3 days because it assumes that there would be late arriving data, but data prior to 3 days isn’t worth the cost of reprocessing. past 3 hours or 10 days).

Now, imagine yourself in the role of a software engineer responsible for a micro-service which publishes data consumed by few critical customer facing services (e.g. You are about to make structural changes to the data and want to know who and what downstream to your service will be impacted.

And in order to gain visibility into these logs, we need to somehow ingest and enrich this data. It is easier to tune a large Spark job for a consistent volume of data. In other words, we are able to ensure that our Spark app does not “eat” more data than it was tuned to handle. We named this library Sqooby.
