    Ep 6. Data Mesh Live: How to make it successful in organisations, with Jacek Majchrzak & Andrew Jones

    In this special episode of "The Data Playbook" podcast, recorded live at the Data Mesh Live Event in Antwerp, Kris Peeters speaks with Data Mesh pioneers Jacek Majchrzak and Andrew Jones. They explore how Data Mesh addresses critical challenges in data management, including data bottlenecks, governance, and decentralization. With years of experience in the field, both Jacek and Andrew share practical lessons from their journeys and offer actionable insights into implementing Data Mesh effectively. The conversation covers: Solving data bottlenecks through decentralized architecturesImproving governance with federated modelsAligning data strategy with business goals for impactful resultsUnderstanding the importance of incremental implementationMoving beyond "data silos" towards a more flexible, scalable approachJacek and Andrew provide real-world examples of how Data Mesh can transform your data infrastructure, sharing lessons on what works, what doesn’t, and how to manage a successful Data Mesh implementation. If you're looking to overcome common data management challenges like governance and scalability, this episode is packed with practical advice.

    Ep 4. From On-Prem to Cloud (Again): How a Government Agency Made the Big Bang Work

    What do you do when GDPR forces your cloud project to stop—and years later, you need to go back? In this episode, Niels Melotte, Data Engineer at Dataminded, unpacks the journey of a government agency that migrated from the cloud to on-prem and then back to the cloud again. And here’s the kicker: the Big Bang migration only took 14 hours. No downtime. No data loss. No angry users. 🔍 In this episode, we discuss: Schrems II and why it sent European governments off the cloud AWS Nitro Enclaves & external key management for GDPR compliance Why the on-prem platform failed to meet uptime guarantees What “purpose-based access control” means and why it matters The value of standardizing with dbt and Starburst How data product thinking shaped the migration strategy Lessons learned about trust, stakeholder communication, and platform maturity This isn’t a fluffy case study. It’s a practical guide full of engineering tradeoffs, real-world headaches, and long-term lessons. A must-listen for data leaders, engineers, architects, and anyone dealing with sensitive data and complex infrastructure decisions. 🎧 Want more episodes?Watch or Listen to all episodes of The Data Playbook on Spotify: 👉 https://open.spotify.com/show/78z3kdyBSKiURz1VnTVP9l?si=781abec722264306 Show notes, episodes & resources:👉 https://www.dataminded.com/resources/podcast #CloudMigration #PublicSector #GDPR #DataGovernance #AWS #DataPlatform #dbt #Starburst #BigBangMigration #TheDataPlaybook #Dataminded

    Ep 3. Building Sustainable Data Products that actually get used - The Data Playbook Podcast: Kris Peeters & Geert Verstraeten

    In this episode of The Data Playbook, we dive deep into a critical, often-overlooked question: What does it mean to build sustainable data products? And no, we’re not just talking ESG dashboards or carbon reporting. 🎙️ Host Kris Peeters is joined by Geert Verstraeten, a seasoned data scientist, founder of Python Predictions, and now a Co-Lead at The Data Forest—a consultancy that puts purpose and sustainability at the core of every data project. Over a candid and rich conversation, Geert shares: How he transitioned from startup founder to corporate leader and back to startup life—with a sustainability mission.Why many data projects fail not because of tech, but because of missed alignment and poor adoption.What sustainable data products really are: tools that not only minimize environmental impact, but also stand the test of time—well-documented, actually used, and aligned with real business needs.Why selecting the right clients and projects is the first step toward impact, not just profit.How the Data Forest scores potential engagements using a unique framework: Head, Heart, and Hands. 💡 Along the way, you’ll hear thought-provoking takes on: The role of documentation in sustainability.Why good data work isn’t about building everything real-time or at scale—especially when you’re not Google.The paradox of GenAI and compute-heavy models in a world striving for tech responsibility. Whether you're a data engineer, architect, scientist, or team lead, this episode challenges you to rethink what a "good" data project looks like. 👀 If you’ve ever built something technically brilliant that no one used, this episode is for you. Hit play to hear: What drives Geert and his team at The Data ForestHow to make better decisions on project scoping and client fitWhy data professionals need to talk to stakeholders much earlier—and more often

    Ep 2. What Not to Build with AI: Avoiding the New Technical Debt in Data-Driven Organizations - The Data Playbook podcast: Kris Peeters, Tim Schröder, Pascal Brokmeier

    What Not to Build with AI: Avoiding the New Technical Debt in Data-Driven Organizations In this episode of The Data Playbook, we explore a crucial and often overlooked question in the age of generative AI: not what to build—but what not to build. Host Kris Peeters (CEO of Dataminded) is joined by seasoned data leaders Pascal Brokmeier (Head of Engineering at Every Cure) and Tim Schröder (AI & Data Transformation Lead in Biopharma), to talk about the dark side of unlimited AI capabilities: technical debt, fragmented systems, and innovation chaos. Topics we dive into: Why generative AI lowers the barrier to building—but increases long-term complexity The risks of treating LLMs as “magical oracles” without governance How RAG systems became the default architecture—and why that’s dangerous The zoo vs. factory dilemma: how to balance AI experimentation with structure Master data vs. knowledge graphs vs. embeddings – when and why each breaks down What Klarna got right (and wrong) by replacing SaaS tools with AI-generated internal apps The growing importance of AI literacy, data maps, and platform thinking Real-world examples of AI agents autonomously debugging systems—and when that’s terrifying We ask tough questions like: Are enterprises just building themselves into a new kind of mess, faster than ever before? Is the AI hype driving us toward “build now, regret later”? Should you really let every department build their own AI stack? Whether you're a data engineer, data architect, AI product lead, or a data strategist, this episode is a must-listen. We’re cutting through the hype to figure out where the real value is—and where the future tech debt is quietly piling up. 🧠 Key quote:"If you can't tell me why you're building it, maybe you shouldn't be building it at all." 💡 Tune in to learn how to stay smart, intentional, and strategic when it comes to building with AI. #TheDataPlaybook #DataEngineering #AIinBusiness #TechnicalDebt #RAG #LLMs #DataStrategy #EnterpriseAI #DataGovernance #DataLeadership #KnowledgeGraphs #GenerativeAI #AIinHealthcare #AIProduct #Dataminded
