Finding opportunities and maximizing Impact
summary
Introduces the Listen-Act-Share loop and shows concrete outcomes: uses Apache Iceberg to move Datadog’s internal analytics from a slow warehouse to a data lakehouse architecture, builds an MVP iceberg catalog, measures performance improvements, gets progressive signal through repeated sharing, and grows it into a multi-department project with OKRs until ownership shifts away. Also tries diagrams-as-code, measures adoption (1–2 of 100), and abandons further investment when feedback is weak.
