About this episode

As the software landscape becomes more fragmented, the importance of product integrations continues to rise. For those working in data and engineering roles, this presents both challenges and opportunities. How do you efficiently manage and scale integrations across diverse systems? What tools and strategies can help you maintain data integrity and streamline workflows? And how can you ensure that your integration strategy aligns with broader business goals and customer expectations?

Gil Feig is the Co-Founder and CTO of Merge, the leading unified API platform. Previously, Gil was the Head of Engineering at Untapped and worked as a software engineer at Wealthfront and LinkedIn. A graduate of Columbia University, he lives and works in New York City.

In the episode, Richie and Gil explore the complexities of product integrations, the evolution of software ecosystems, the challenges of scaling integrations, the role of data engineers, the impact on business operations, and the future of integration technology, and much more.
