Adam Morton met David Krakov, Honeydew’s CEO, and talked about… well… semantic layers 🙂

One of the first questions we ask in discovery calls is where the metrics reside. Data teams build metrics in ETL, during ingestion, in BI, or in a semantic layer. Choosing where to build your metrics isn’t just a technical decision; it’s a strategic one – and definitely part of this balance between creating flexible reports and maintaining consistency.

You can read Adam’s newsletter or just watch the video where Adam and David discuss the semantic layer challenge in more depth with a demo of Honeydew.
