Not Your Father's Data Lakehouse: Building with Trino and Iceberg

Austin, TX Mar 2024

The data lakehouse architecture has taken the analytics world by storm, applying critical data warehouse-like capabilities to the data lake. To achieve this desired result, you need to select two critical components of your lakehouse - a query engine and a table format. In this workshop, Jack Klamer and Monica Miller will lead you through how you can easily build and manage an open data lakehouse architecture using open-source technologies such as Trino and Apache Iceberg to support your growing analytics.

An introduction to data contracts

Boston, MA Oct 2023

As organizations grow, Data Producers and Data Consumers lose touch and critical disconnections within the organization start to arise. Data Producers should not be held responsible for support they never agreed to, yet Data Consumers cannot be expected to own data from source systems they didn't build. Consumers should have the power to define the schema they need instead of being forced to adapt to low-quality data. The answer? Data Contracts.
