After two successful seasons of the Data Chaos podcast, we've decided to take a pause on any new episodes. We've absolutely loved all of the conversations we've had with our guests but ultimately have decided to focus our efforts on more technically nuanced content.

That new content will be centered on ClickHouse. It's no secret that my company, Propel (which sponsors Data Chaos), is built using this lightning-fast columnar database. We created Propel as the easiest way to run ClickHouse at any scale and learned a ton along the way. We want to share these learnings with the community through our blogs and the new podcast.

Whether you're a seasoned ClickHouse admin, a data enthusiast, or just curious about high-performance analytics, this podcast covers everything from basic concepts to advanced use cases. It features industry experts, real-world success stories, and best practices to help you get the most out of ClickHouse in your data stack.

We hope you give it a listen!

Unlock the secrets of Product Operations with the return of Lindsey Bell, as she guides us through her transition from RapidAPI to Foursquare and the potent impact of Product Ops in today's tech scene. As the vital 'glue' of R&D organizations, Lindsay demystifies the skepticism surrounding Product Ops and shares her firsthand insights - revealing how this role is reshaping company culture and team efficiency. Plus, we explore Melissa Perri's influential new book on the topic, promising to enrich your understanding of integrating Product Operations into your business strategy. We're stirring up the conversation around the convergence of design ops, engineering ops, and product ops, dissecting their collective role in scaling and streamlining organizations. Discover the fine line between fostering innovation and risking misalignment within specialized ops roles. I'll draw from a diverse range of company cultures to illustrate how an overarching product ops role can detect inefficiencies and promote synergy between product management and engineering, steering clear of siloed work environments and driving toward the creation of remarkable products. Journey with us into the mechanics of product management, where we dissect the product development lifecycle and the art of upholding deadline accountability across various stages of company growth. Lindsay Bell and I compare notes on how Foursquare is mastering roadmap visibility with the past experiences, scrutinizing the tools that support this vital process. We also dream up the ultimate visualization tool for tracking product development from start to finish - a system designed to pivot a product's journey from initial concept to market triumph. Join us for this deep dive into operational excellence and the roles that make products stand out in a crowded marketplace.
