Quick reminder: The 2026 Practical Data State of Data Engineering survey is still open, and I’d love more voices in the mix.
We’ve got a lot of responses so far (almost 600), which is excellent, but the more perspectives we capture, the more useful this report becomes for everyone.
If you work in data (DE, analytics, AI/ML, platform, architecture), it takes 2–3 minutes:
The goal is simple: build a picture of how data teams actually work in 2025. Not what vendors say we do, not what a “mega analyst firm” suggests, but ground truth from practitioners.
Survey ends January 10, 2026.
The full report drops after the data is digested and is free for everyone.
Thanks to those who’ve already participated. 🙏
