Podcast: Data Orchestration, Dagster, and parallels to React.js

Whats New in Data

Pete Hunt, CEO of Dagster Labs, is also very well known for his leadership developing React.js which transformed the way modern front-end applications are built using functional programming and asset aware re-rendering. Pete talks about how Data Orchestration can also be optimized to be aware of the assets it is computing. Why is this important?
