The document discusses Yelp's distributed data architecture and quality solutions for organizational scaling. It describes how Yelp connects over 500 engineers across many services through shared data stored in databases like MySQL, Cassandra and Elasticsearch. The data is ingested through Kafka and processed using tools like Flink. Schematizer provides documentation, discovery and ownership of data. It also enables data lineage tracking and auditing to ensure quality as the data is transformed and loaded into data lakes and warehouses. The goal is to provide reliable, up-to-date shared data to align teams and enable autonomy through self-service data access.
