Data Engineering Patterns for the AgileData Event Tile, AgileData Engineering Pattern #5 - Episode #71

from Agile Data N’ Info · host AgileData

Join Shane Gibson and Nigel Vining as they describe and discuss the AgileData Engineering Pattern for the AgileData Event Tile. The Event Tile Data Modeling pattern captures business processes and transactions within AgileData's three-layered data architecture, modeling "who does what" at a specific point in time. It achieves this by storing only a small number of core business keys in insert-only event tables. These event records are then automatically hydrated into a "consume tile" by joining with all relevant detail attributes that were current at the exact moment the event occurred, ensuring an accurate, time-staged narrative. This provides data consumers with a rich, wide, and historically accurate view of events, simplifying the querying of complex historical changes and state transitions. An AgileData Engineering Pattern is a repeatable, proven approach for solving a common data engineering challenge in a simple, consistent, and scalable way, designed to reduce rework, speed up delivery, and embed quality by default.
