The Modern Data Team for the Modern Data Stack: dbt and the Role of the Analy...Databricks
A traditional data team has roles including data engineer, data scientist, and data analyst. However, many organizations are finding success by integrating a new role – the analytics engineer. The analytics engineer develops a code-based data infrastructure that can serve both analytics and data science teams. He or she develops re-usable data models using the software engineering practices of version control and unit testing, and provides the critical domain expertise that ensures that data products are relevant and insightful. In this talk we’ll talk about the role and skill set of the analytics engineer, and discuss how dbt, an open source programming environment, empowers anyone with a SQL skillset to fulfill this new role on the data team. We’ll demonstrate how to use dbt to build version-controlled data models on top of Delta Lake, test both the code and our assumptions about the underlying data, and orchestrate complete data pipelines on Apache Spark™.
Data Build Tool (DBT) is an open source technology to set up your data lake using best practices from software engineering. This SQL first technology is a great marriage between Databricks and Delta. This allows you to maintain high quality data and documentation during the entire datalake life-cycle. In this talk I’ll do an introduction into DBT, and show how we can leverage Databricks to do the actual heavy lifting. Next, I’ll present how DBT supports Delta to enable upserting using SQL. Finally, we show how we integrate DBT+Databricks into the Azure cloud. Finally we show how we emit the pipeline metrics to Azure monitor to make sure that you have observability over your pipeline.
dbt Python models - GoDataFest by Guillermo SanchezGoDataDriven
Guillermo Sanchez presented on the pros and cons of using Python models in dbt. While Python models allow for more advanced analytics and leveraging the Python ecosystem, they also introduce more complexity in setup and divergent APIs across platforms. Additionally, dbt may not be well-suited for certain use cases like ingesting external data or building full MLOps pipelines. In general, Python models are best for the right analytical use cases, but caution is needed, especially for production environments.

Airbyte @ Airflow Summit - The new modern data stackMichel Tricot
The document introduces the modern data stack of Airbyte, Airflow, and dbt. It discusses how ELT addresses issues with traditional ETL processes by separating extraction, loading, and transformation. Extraction and loading involve general-purpose routines to pull and push raw data, while transformation uses business logic specific to the organization. The stack is presented as an open solution that allows composing with best of breed tools for each part of the data pipeline. Airbyte provides data integration, dbt enables data transformation with SQL, and Airflow handles scheduling. The demo shows how these tools can be combined to build a flexible, autonomous, and future proof modern data stack.
- Delta Lake is an open source project that provides ACID transactions, schema enforcement, and time travel capabilities to data stored in data lakes such as S3 and ADLS.
- It allows building a "Lakehouse" architecture where the same data can be used for both batch and streaming analytics.
- Key features include ACID transactions, scalable metadata handling, time travel to view past data states, schema enforcement, schema evolution, and change data capture for streaming inserts, updates and deletes.

Architect’s Open-Source Guide for a Data Mesh ArchitectureDatabricks
Data Mesh is an innovative concept addressing many data challenges from an architectural, cultural, and organizational perspective. But is the world ready to implement Data Mesh?
In this session, we will review the importance of core Data Mesh principles, what they can offer, and when it is a good idea to try a Data Mesh architecture. We will discuss common challenges with implementation of Data Mesh systems and focus on the role of open-source projects for it. Projects like Apache Spark can play a key part in standardized infrastructure platform implementation of Data Mesh. We will examine the landscape of useful data engineering open-source projects to utilize in several areas of a Data Mesh system in practice, along with an architectural example. We will touch on what work (culture, tools, mindset) needs to be done to ensure Data Mesh is more accessible for engineers in the industry.
The audience will leave with a good understanding of the benefits of Data Mesh architecture, common challenges, and the role of Apache Spark and other open-source projects for its implementation in real systems.
This session is targeted for architects, decision-makers, data-engineers, and system designers.
Apache Iceberg Presentation for the St. Louis Big Data IDEAAdam Doyle
Presentation on Apache Iceberg for the February 2021 St. Louis Big Data IDEA. Apache Iceberg is an alternative database platform that works with Hive and Spark.
This document discusses the need for observability in data pipelines. It notes that real data pipelines often fail or take a long time to rerun without providing any insight into what went wrong. This is because of frequent code, data, dependency, and infrastructure changes. The document recommends taking a production engineering approach to observability using metrics, logging, and alerting tools. It also suggests experiment management and encapsulating reporting in notebooks. Most importantly, it stresses measuring everything through metrics at all stages of data ingestion and processing to better understand where issues occur.
Speeding Time to Insight with a Modern ELT ApproachDatabricks
The availability of new tools in the modern data stack is changing the way data teams operate. Specifically, the modern data stack supports an “ELT” approach for managing data, rather than the traditional “ETL” approach. In an ELT approach, data sources are automatically loaded in a normalized state into Delta Lake and opinionated transformations happen in the data destination using dbt. This workflow allows data analysts to move more quickly from raw data to insight, while creating repeatable data pipelines robust to changes in the source datasets. In this presentation, we’ll illustrate how easy it is for even a data analytics team of one to to develop an end-to-end data pipeline. We’ll load data from GitHub into Delta Lake, then use pre-built dbt models to feed a daily Redash dashboard on sales performance by manager, and use the same transformed models to power the data science team’s predictions of future sales by segment.
Delta Lake brings reliability, performance, and security to data lakes. It provides ACID transactions, schema enforcement, and unified handling of batch and streaming data to make data lakes more reliable. Delta Lake also features lightning fast query performance through its optimized Delta Engine. It enables security and compliance at scale through access controls and versioning of data. Delta Lake further offers an open approach and avoids vendor lock-in by using open formats like Parquet that can integrate with various ecosystems.
Introduction SQL Analytics on Lakehouse ArchitectureDatabricks
This document provides an introduction and overview of SQL Analytics on Lakehouse Architecture. It discusses the instructor Doug Bateman's background and experience. The course goals are outlined as describing key features of a data Lakehouse, explaining how Delta Lake enables a Lakehouse architecture, and defining features of the Databricks SQL Analytics user interface. The course agenda is then presented, covering topics on Lakehouse Architecture, Delta Lake, and a Databricks SQL Analytics demo. Background is also provided on Lakehouse architecture, how it combines the benefits of data warehouses and data lakes, and its key features.
The document provides an overview of the Databricks platform, which offers a unified environment for data engineering, analytics, and AI. It describes how Databricks addresses the complexity of managing data across siloed systems by providing a single "data lakehouse" platform where all data and analytics workloads can be run. Key features highlighted include Delta Lake for ACID transactions on data lakes, auto loader for streaming data ingestion, notebooks for interactive coding, and governance tools to securely share and catalog data and models.
Organizations are struggling to make sense of their data within antiquated data platforms. Snowflake, the data warehouse built for the cloud, can help.
Building Lakehouses on Delta Lake with SQL Analytics PrimerDatabricks
You’ve heard the marketing buzz, maybe you have been to a workshop and worked with some Spark, Delta, SQL, Python, or R, but you still need some help putting all the pieces together? Join us as we review some common techniques to build a lakehouse using Delta Lake, use SQL Analytics to perform exploratory analysis, and build connectivity for BI applications.
This document is a training presentation on Databricks fundamentals and the data lakehouse concept by Dalibor Wijas from November 2022. It introduces Wijas and his experience. It then discusses what Databricks is, why it is needed, what a data lakehouse is, how Databricks enables the data lakehouse concept using Apache Spark and Delta Lake. It also covers how Databricks supports data engineering, data warehousing, and offers tools for data ingestion, transformation, pipelines and more.

Modernizing to a Cloud Data ArchitectureDatabricks
Organizations with on-premises Hadoop infrastructure are bogged down by system complexity, unscalable infrastructure, and the increasing burden on DevOps to manage legacy architectures. Costs and resource utilization continue to go up while innovation has flatlined. In this session, you will learn why, now more than ever, enterprises are looking for cloud alternatives to Hadoop and are migrating off of the architecture in large numbers. You will also learn how elastic compute models’ benefits help one customer scale their analytics and AI workloads and best practices from their experience on a successful migration of their data and workloads to the cloud.
Data Lakehouse, Data Mesh, and Data Fabric (r1)James Serra
So many buzzwords of late: Data Lakehouse, Data Mesh, and Data Fabric. What do all these terms mean and how do they compare to a data warehouse? In this session I’ll cover all of them in detail and compare the pros and cons of each. I’ll include use cases so you can see what approach will work best for your big data needs.
These slides present how DBT, Coral, and Iceberg can provide a novel data management experience for defining SQL workflows. In this UX, users define their workflows as a cascade of SQL queries, which then get auto-materialized and incrementally maintained. Applications of this user experience include Declarative DAG workflows, streaming/batch convergence, and materialized views.
The Future of Data Science and Machine Learning at Scale: A Look at MLflow, D...Databricks
Many had dubbed 2020 as the decade of data. This is indeed an era of data zeitgeist.
From code-centric software development 1.0, we are entering software development 2.0, a data-centric and data-driven approach, where data plays a central theme in our everyday lives.
As the volume and variety of data garnered from myriad data sources continue to grow at an astronomical scale and as cloud computing offers cheap computing and data storage resources at scale, the data platforms have to match in their abilities to process, analyze, and visualize at scale and speed and with ease — this involves data paradigm shifts in processing and storing and in providing programming frameworks to developers to access and work with these data platforms.
In this talk, we will survey some emerging technologies that address the challenges of data at scale, how these tools help data scientists and machine learning developers with their data tasks, why they scale, and how they facilitate the future data scientists to start quickly.
In particular, we will examine in detail two open-source tools MLflow (for machine learning life cycle development) and Delta Lake (for reliable storage for structured and unstructured data).
Other emerging tools such as Koalas help data scientists to do exploratory data analysis at scale in a language and framework they are familiar with as well as emerging data + AI trends in 2021.
You will understand the challenges of machine learning model development at scale, why you need reliable and scalable storage, and what other open source tools are at your disposal to do data science and machine learning at scale.
At wetter.com we build analytical B2B data products and heavily use Spark and AWS technologies for data processing and analytics. I explain why we moved from AWS EMR to Databricks and Delta and share our experiences from different angles like architecture, application logic and user experience. We will look how security, cluster configuration, resource consumption and workflow changed by using Databricks clusters as well as how using Delta tables simplified our application logic and data operations.

This conference is organized by country’s leading electronics media – Electronics For You.
From Emertxe we delivered a talk titled "Demystifying IoT skills : What does it take to become a FullStack IoT engineer?".IoT has somehow become the "six blind men" story where everyone is intrepreting in their own perspective. Some may say IoT as "old wine in a new bottle" others may say "it is the next big thing".
Given this scenario, as an electronics / embedded / core engineer, the challenge is always been:
How to intrepret IoT from skills perspective?
What additional skills an electronics engineer should have in order to have a career in this domain?
How different Embedded and IoT job profiles are?
What role protocols play in IoT?
The proposed talk is based on our years of market research and delivering IoT based education programs for various customer segments - Fresh Engineers, Corporate Organizations and Working professionals.
Data Con LA 2022 - Open Source Large Knowledge Graph FactoryData Con LA
Russell Jurney, Founder, Graphlet AI
The knowledge graph and graph database markets have long asked themselves: why aren't we larger? The vision of the semantic web was that many datasets could be cross-referenced between independent graph databases to map all knowledge on the web from myriad disparate datasets into one or more authoritative ontologies which could be accessed by writing SPARQL queries to work across knowledge graphs. The reality of dirty data made this vision impossible. Most time is spent cleaning data which isn't in the format you need to solve your business problems. Multiple datasets in different formats each have quirks. Deduplicate data using entity resolution is an unsolved problem for large graphs. Once you merge duplicate nodes and edges, you rarely have the edge types you need to make a problem easy to solve. It turns out the most likely type of edge in a knowledge graph that solves your problem easily is defined by the output of a Python program using the machine learning. For large graphs, this program needs to run on a horizontally scalable platform PySpark and extend rather than be isolated inside a graph databases. The quality of developer's experience is critical. In this talk I will review an approach to an Open Source Large Knowledge Graph Factory built on top of Spark that follows the ingest / build / refine / public / query model that open source big data is based upon.
Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes: Taking Your MongoDB Stitch Application to the Next Level...MongoDB
MongoDB Stitch is a serverless platform designed to help you easily and securely build an application on top of MongoDB Atlas. It lets developers focus on building applications rather than on managing data manipulation code, service integration, or backend infrastructure. MongoDB Stitch also makes it simple to respond to backend changes immediately, allowing you to simplify client side code and build complex flows more easily. This talk will cover ways that MongoDB Stitch helps you respond to changes in your database and take your applications to the next level.
Applications need data, but the legacy approach of n-tiered application architecture doesn’t solve for today’s challenges. Developers aren’t empowered to build and iterate their code quickly without lengthy review processes from other teams. New data sources cannot be quickly adopted into application development cycles, and developers are not able to control their own requirements when it comes to data platforms.
Part of the challenge here is the existing relationship between two groups: developers and DBAs. Developers are trying to go faster, automating build/test/release cycles with CI/CD, and thrive on the autonomy provided by microservices architectures. DBAs are stewards of data protection, governance, and security. Both of these groups are critically important to running data platforms, but many organizations deal with high friction between these teams. As a result, applications get to market more slowly, and it takes longer for customers to see value.
What if we changed the orientation between developers and DBAs? What if developers consumed data products from data teams? In this session, Pivotal’s Dormain Drewitz and Solstice’s Mike Koleno will speak about:
- Product mindset and how balanced teams can reduce internal friction
- Creating data as a product to align with cloud-native application architectures, like microservices and serverless
- Getting started bringing lean principles into your data organization
- Balancing data usability with data protection, governance, and security

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
