Great question - we invented a system for this at Snowplow, called SchemaVer: http://snowplowanalytics.com/blog/2014/05/13/introducing-sch... SemVer doesn't work for data - for one thing, there is n

I spent 4 months working from Cyprus in 2016 (my wife is Cypriot). There's very little tech there (apart from Wargaming.net), and minimal public transport, but pretty much everything else is great (climate, food, infrastructure etc) an

I came here to say the same thing. The article has things the wrong way round: rather than moving the computation on individual webhook event streams into the SaaS provider of that webhook, I want to consolidate all the processing of all my
