#109 Opening New Data Doors in The Open Source World with Suresh Srinivas and Harsha Chintalapani, Co-Founders of OpenMetadata

On this episode of Hashmap on Tap, host Kelly Kohlleffel is joined by Suresh Srinivas and Harsha Chintalapani. Suresh and Harsha are the Co-Founders of OpenMetadata, a rapidly growing open source project that defines specifications to standardize metadata with a schema-first approach and a centralized metadata store that integrates with popular systems and services in the data stack to collect, store, and index metadata via API and through a web UI. These two have a wealth of information and experience from their time at Uber, Hortonworks, and Yahoo. Listen in to hear their perspective on the data landscape today and what they're up to at OpenMetadata plus their insights across a range of topics including how architecture is only clean in powerpoints (or google slides), the fact that data "missed the boat" on UX, and their thoughts about how data is a team game.
