As businesses increasingly operate in hybrid and multi-cloud environments, managing data across these complex setups presents unique challenges and opportunities. This presentation provides a comprehensive guide to building a global-scale data platform using cloud-native tools. We will explore considerations, best practices, and pitfalls for deploying and managing scalable, cost-efficient, and high-performing data architectures that leverage various data storage solutions—including files, object stores, databases, and more—in cloud-native environments. Key topics include best practices for cloud storage, compute decoupling, ensuring high availability and data redundancy, and balancing the power of cloud providers while controlling costs.

Attendees will gain insights into automating data operations, leveraging cloud-native solutions, and avoiding common pitfalls in building scalable data infrastructures.
