- 2. Agenda • Data at Lyft • Challenges with Data Discovery • Data Discovery at Lyft • Demo • Architecture • Summary 2
- 3. Data platform users 3 Data Modelers Analysts Data Scientists General Managers Data Platform Engineers ExperimentersProduct Managers
- 4. 4 Core Infra high level architecture Custom apps
- 6. • My first project is to analyze and predict Data council Attendance • Where is the data? • What does it mean? Hi! I am a n00b Data Scientist! 6
- 7. • Option 1: Phone a friend! • Option 2: Github search Status quo 7
- 8. • What does this field mean? ‒ Does attendance data include employees? ‒ Does it include revenue? • Let me dig in and understand Understand the context 8
- 10. Exploring with SELECT * is EVIL 1. Lack of productivity for data scientists 2. Increased load on the databases 10
- 11. Data Scientists spend upto 1/3rd time in Data Discovery... 11 • Data discovery ‒ Lack of understanding of what data exists, where, who owns it, who uses it, and how to request access.
- 13. Data Discovery - User personas 13 Data Modelers Analysts Data Scientists General Managers Data Platform Engineers ExperimentersProduct Managers
- 14. 3 Data Scientist personas Power user ● All info in their head ● Get interrupted a lot due to questions ● Lost ● Ask “power users” a lot of questions ● Dependencies landing on time ● Communicating with stakeholders Noob user Manager
- 15. Search based Lineage based Network based Where is the table/dashboard for X? What does it contain? I am changing a data model, who are the owner and most common users? I want to follow a power user in my team. Does this analysis already exist? This table’s delivery was delayed today, I want to notify everyone downstream. I want to bookmark tables of interest and get a feed of data delay, schema change, incidents. Data Discovery answers 3 kinds of questions
- 16. Meet Amundsen 16 First person to discover the South Pole - Norwegian explorer, Roald Amundsen
- 17. Landing page optimized for search
- 18. Search results ranked on relevance and query activity
- 19. How does search work? 19
- 20. Relevance - search for “apple” on Google 20 Low relevance High relevance
- 21. Popularity - search for “apple” on Google 21 Low popularity High popularity
- 22. Striking the balance 22 Relevance Popularity ● Names, Descriptions, Tags, [owners, frequent users] ● Querying activity ● Dashboarding ● Different weights for automated vs adhoc querying
- 24. Search results ranked on relevance and query activity
- 25. Detailed description and metadata about data resources
- 26. Data Preview within the tool
- 27. Computed stats about column metadata Disclaimer: these stats are arbitrary.

- 47. 3. Search Service • A thin proxy layer to interact with the search backend ‒ Currently it supports Elasticsearch as the search backend. • Support different search patterns ‒ Normal Search: match records based on relevancy ‒ Category Search: match records first based on data type, then relevancy ‒ Wildcard Search 47
- 48. Challenge #1 How to make the search result more relevant? 48
- 49. How to make the search result more relevant? 49 • Define a search quality metric ‒ Click-Through-Rate (CTR) over top 5 results • Search behaviour instrumentation is key • Couple of improvements: ‒ Boost the exact table ranking ‒ Support wildcard search (e.g. event_*) ‒ Support category search (e.g. column: is_line_ride)

- 52. Challenge #1 Various forms of metadata 52
- 53. 53 Metadata Sources @ Lyft
- 54. Metadata - Challenges • No Standardization: No single data model that fits for all data resources ‒ A data resource could be a table, an Airflow DAG or a dashboard • Different Extraction: Each data set metadata is stored and fetched differently ‒ Hive Table: Stored in Hive metastore ‒ RDBMS(postgres etc): Fetched through DBAPI interface ‒ Github source code: Fetched through git hook ‒ Mode dashboard: Fetched through Mode API ‒ … 54
- 55. Challenge #2 Pull model vs Push model 55
- 56. Pull model vs. Push model 56 Pull Model Push Model ● Periodically update the index by pulling from the system (e.g. database) via crawlers. ● The system (e.g. database) pushes metadata to a message bus which downstream subscribes to. Crawler Database Data graph Scheduler Database Message queue Data graph

Editor's Notes
- Today’s agenda: Why empowering with data is important… What are we doing in the data team at Lyft (context)... What challenges we are facing and have seen other companies face… How are we solving the problem... At the core of it, we will primarily talk about the Data Discovery solution we are building and how we thought about the use case, solution, and the architecture.
- Who is our audience: everyone who works at Lyft… Power users: Data Scientists, Research Scientists, Product Managers… Next: Engineers, GMs, Ops, etc.
- What does the architecture for our core infra look like? Mobile application primarily… Raw events can come either from the client… or from the back end events triggered in the server… the data comes to our message bus… Kinesis/Kafka and then with light ELTing written to S3 where it persists… today we keep all the data in archival… then we develop data models and transform raw events to tables in Hive. We use Hive from long running queries and Presto for interactive queries… People build dashboards on top of Hive and visualize for exploratory analysis in Presto...

- Data Discovery: How much of a challenge is it? Significant challenge… Data Scientists spend up to 1/3rd of their time in Data Discovery while doing exploratory analysis… We surveyed users at Lyft and a few other companies: You’d want to spend most of the time on analysis… But we have ~10PBs of data, thousands of tables… so it is hard to find what is there and what is the source of truth… We can significantly increase productivity and impact if we can reduce this time...

- Popularity is not click through rate but through query access patterns.
- Amundsen architecture at Lyft: 3 micro-services(FE, metadata, search) and one generic data ingestion framework Will discuss each of the component in details High level walkthrough….how CCPA compilance works
- ML features (one sentence on what is feature service) Add a logo of neo4j ? mention about github, HMS, neo4j backend for description, trade-off, initial version propagate the metadata back, but we found that full-rebuild table doesn’t work in this case. ? what if user modify github source file
- Why graph db is the best option? Why not rdbms, nosql etc Why choose neo4j vs other graph db? (most popular graph db) Amundsen needs to provide metadata which includes table, column, column statistics, usage information etc. Along with that, Amundsen also needs to provide lineage information where it need to be able to provide producer, consumer relationships within the life cycle of data. Lineage could be simplified as a graph of entities and edges. E.g in the graph blahblah There are other options: NoSQL(no join support), RDBMS(performance of join is not good)
- Above graph data model shows our use case to show table and column metadata with usage to the column level. Querying a table detail from this Neo4j graph would be like asking Neo4j to search for a table node as a starting node and traverse it. In other words, there’s only one search operation needed to find anchor node which makes Neo4j performant -- no join operation at all. We model the graph as bi-direction relationships.

- ? challenge How to improve search relevance?
- Think of search algorithm… Event_ride_table -> event ride table
- Talk about how we measure it: instrument empty results from user, % of click through rate What we did? Boost the rank of exact table name match
- Walk through pros and cons
- Pull approach is basically extract data from the source periodically. Amundsen databuilder will be responsible for extraction, transformation, and load. This naturally gives us three abstracted construct Extractor, Transformer, Loader and, optionally Publisher. The design principle follows Apache Gobblin Extractor extracts record from source one record at a time. For example in Hive, we would need a column metadata extractor for a table where each record represents a column of a table. Transformer transforms a record. Any use case that we may have to transform (e.g: remove special character) or decorate the record (e.g: make a service call to enrich data). This is a place for that. Loader writes data into either sink (destination) or into staging area. Publisher assumes that loader loaded into staging area and publishes it to destination. Atomicity is a desired behavior but it’s up to the limitation of sink itself’s support on Atomicity.
