Hey folks! Halloween is coming up, and I am gathering real-time analytics horror stories! If you, or someone you know, has encountered any data horror stories feel free to message me privately with your tales of the bizarre, frightening and truly odd. The rules: • Stories should focus on real-time analytics, though they don't need to be specifically about Apache Pinot or StarTree. For example, they could be about other databases that failed spectacularly, or related technologies like data streaming, stream processing, observability tools, etc. • For example: I've already done a similar NoSQL House of Horrors. Now it's time to torch our own neck of the woods. • It's all to share disaster stories and lessons learned. You can provide both the horror story, as well as the "light at the end of the tunnel." ["Whew!"] • These should be "safe" stories, now-closed issues, things from the past, you can share. Please do not share anything that is a current issue or a proprietary/confidential issue. • The names of any organizations and individuals will be kept anonymous. Please do not share anything that could put any organization or individual at risk with their boss. • Make it funny if possible, playing up the Halloween/horror story theme. • No "bad blood." We're not here to grind axes against former employers, or make enemies with competitors. • This is all to be presented to the public in the future. I can keep your name private, or I can credit you if you wish. Would love to hear your comments between now and the end of September. DM me here, or send me an email at peter.corless@startree.ai. Comment below if I should be expecting a message from you!
