I'm not saying this is correct or better, just saying that's the way it is and it does set a precedent and model for other companies.
- juancb 4y agoFacebook used to keep "Data Engineers" on staff back in 2017 which more or less played a DBA role across their massive data infrastructure.

- nl 4y agoData Engineering is a very different role to traditional that performed by traditional DBAs.
- bushbaba 4y agoNot necessarily true. FANG has data engineers filling the DBA role. Google also had O ladder folks doing DBA like work in support of Sales Ops, HR, and other (mostly) non-tech organizations.
