ABOUT THE TALK

Looker is a BI tool rapidly growing in popularity. Its hidden strength is that data engineers love it, because it allows you to evolve your data pipeline gradually, while still delivering dashboards and analytics to business users. Julian Hyde, creator of Apache Calcite and now an Architect at Looker, gives a deep dive of Looker's "derived tables", which allow you to defer ETL, add rich features like custom dimensions and measures to your model, and cache data on demand.
