I'd love to see the data modeling book. I spend a lot of energy shouting the virtues of The Data Warehouse Toolkit into the void. You are right it is outdated but it isn't entirely (or even mostly) wrong.

My coworkers seem much more interested in making a bigger EMR or adding nodes to Redshift than designing a reasonable data mart because "star schemas don't scale". I'm interested to see what you come up with, it is a huge gap in the current literature.

It's free to download on dataschool.com. I agree on the gap and that's why we wrote this book. We launched that on HN here 5 months ago

Oh wow, I missed this entirely, thank you for pointing it out and I will give it a read tonight.
