Data Engineering at tech events
19 write-ups · 19 events · 2015–2026
Here I collect sessions on data engineering and analytics platforms, covering orchestration, dbt, ClickHouse, streaming and warehouse tooling. Across Amsterdam meetups and vendor events, the recurring themes are choosing between orchestrators, building pipelines that AI applications can rely on, and how analytics platforms are run in production.
