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. However, to make best use of the session and learn to run the code yourself to build your own data solutions, please follow the instructions in this github repo: https://github.com/theopendatastackofficial/get-started-coding-locally . Following these instructions should take about 10 minutes, and after completing you will be setup to run python, Javascript, and TypeScript code locally. Please also have at least a free account with a Chat AI provider like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude.
