I'm an Architect
As an Architect, I make architecture decisions on whether Denodo can be used on a use case/project or not, so I’d be interested in:
Denodo enables business applications to process a series of distributed and heterogeneous data sources, including external sources, as though the data were contained in a large “virtual” database. Here you can find the resources to learn about the architecture of Denodo.

I'm a Developer
As a Denodo Developer, I use the Denodo web applications (Design Studio and Scheduler) to implement data projects using a logical approach to access the data. Some of my responsibilities are: connect to distributed data sources, build out virtual views, optimize queries, test views, document the project, etc.
The main responsibility for a Denodo Developer is building virtual views. The following resources talk about the best way to develop and organize virtual views in Denodo, and best practices for managing your Denodo projects.
