Data Engineering

Enriching Data Pipelines, Expanding AI, and Expediting Analytics

Over a decade ago, DZone welcomed the arrival of its first ever data-centric publication. Since then, the trends surrounding the data movement have held many titles  — big data, data science, advanced analytics, business intelligence, data analytics, and quite a few more. Despite its varying vernacular, the purpose has remained the same: to build intelligent, data-driven systems. The industry has come a long way from organizing unstructured data and driving cultural acceptance to adopting today's modern data pipelines and embracing business intelligence capabilities.

This year's Data Engineering Trend Report draws all former terminology, advancements, and discoveries into the larger picture, illustrating where we stand today along our unique, evolving data journeys. Within these pages, readers will find the keys to successfully build a foundation for fast and vast data intelligence across their organization. Our goal is for the contents of this report to help guide individual contributors and businesses alike as they strive for mastery of their data environments.
