It’s a bad situation in your typical enterprise, but it’s even worse where I’ve spent my career: working with realtime industrial data. I became convinced that building time series data pipipelines was a bad idea after many late nights in the office fixing fragile systems that couldn’t handle real-world complexity. As fun as it is to build with and learn new technologies, it’s a bad idea to build data pipelines unless you have a lot of resources and good leadership that can make peace between all the different people who touch the data. Unfortunately in the world of sensors and equipment there aren’t many solutions, so I started a company (at https://sentenai.com https://sentenai.com ) to save others from my years of struggle. It turns out it’s even harder to build a general time series data pipeline solution, but we’re making progress.
