Lightning-fast analytics with the Open Data stack

March 24 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Virtual Event Virtual Event
Free

Open-source is transforming the data engineering space. By combining tools like Parquet, Polars, DuckDB, and Dagster, data product creation can achieve a collective 1000x improvement in cost, performance, and simplicity. Plus — thanks to LLMs, it has never been easier to quickly learn how to build with these tools!

Join Christian Casazza, Data Engineer, where he’ll speak about the Open Data Stack. He’ll show you how to use open-source tools to ingest and store any dataset from the Open Data API, run a SQL transformation pipeline, and visualize the results as a live web app (all for free from your computer!). Then, learn how to work with an LLM like ChatGPT to write ETL code, build SQL queries, and create frontend apps.

Pre-requisites
Absolutely no skills are necessary to attend, just an interest in learning something new. To make best use of the session and follow along with the code, I would suggest downloading VSCode to your computer. If you use a Windows, I would also suggest installing WSL. Instructions can be found easily online. I would also suggest making a free Github account, and a free account with an LLM chat provider like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. You can see the above instructions in more detail by going to the getting-started-open-data-week repository in https://github.com/theopendatastackofficial?tab=repositories.
