Abstract: 

To apply AI effectively in the business setting, and to get the optimal benefit for business decisionmaking, data needs to be ready to use and easy to access for data science teams.
Journera (a travel industry data startup) has built our data warehouse using Airflow and AWS Redshift, and we're using it to access and analyze hundreds of millions of records on the fly. This talk will share an introduction to each tool, walk through the pipeline that can be built from any data store to the Redshift platform, discuss the architecture of a relational data warehouse in Redshift, and give tips on how to avoid mistakes we made in our own process.
