According to Maxime Beauchemin, CEO & Founder at Preset and Creator of Apache Superset and Apache Airflow, it's not so straight-forward to understand what you're really getting into and the vastness of the skills that are required in order to build a thriving company.

Picking the right system and services is key for a successful start, and can help you avoid the chaos of having too many tools spread across multiple teams.

Plus, Max walks the bros through the genesis of Airflow, Superset & Presto, and Airflow's old school marketing approach that won the hearts of developers across the world. And just like the terminator, once the machine takes over, you can't stop.
