From your feedback, we know that on-call issues, especially those that arise at the database layer are always the most challenging to solve. This episode builds on our Grafana Observability episode as we go deeper into the challenge of data ownership in data lakes. Apache Druid creator, previous Yahoo Distinguished Engineer, Fellow at Splunk, and currently the Chief Architect as Imply, Eric Tschetter joins us to confirm that there are unsolved problems in data platforms, and it doesn't get better when we throw agents into the mix.

In the true DevOps mindset aligment, Eric reminds us that whoever is operating the system, knows what is going on, they know their service boundaries, and so it's their choice to make. And the sad reality is that at large enough companies, you will always have independent teams making independent decisions, it's never possible to fully align them, and realistically we get down to why it is even a mistake to try.
