Talks

1st talk

Abstract:
Viktoria will introduce Apache Airflow and explain a few basic concepts (like what is DAG actually?!). The talk is aimed at people who have never heard of Apache Airflow before.

Speaker Bio:
Viktoria Nemkin is a Software Engineer on Cloud Composer at Google and a recent graduate of Budapest University of Technology and Economics.

----------
2nd talk

Abstract:
Leah will go over best practices for developing in Cloud Composer, Google's hosted, managed Apache Airflow service. The talk will mainly focus on the configuration as opposed to DAG writing.

Speaker Bio:
Leah Cole is a developer programs engineer at Google, working on Composer, Google Cloud’s hosted version of Apache Airflow. Previously, she worked at GE on multiple projects in the industrial IoT space. Leah is a graduate of Carleton College, where she studied computer science and also took enough German to have a semi-accidental minor. Outside of work, Leah likes playing piano, traveling, and crocheting.

3rd talk

Abstract:
We all hate writing boiler-plate code. However, if you want to develop a new Airflow operator, you probably start with copy-pasting a code of already present operator and changing it accordingly. Sometimes not adjusted docstring even hint the origin of the original code. So, the question is, how can we automate this process?

Speaker Bio:
Tomasz Urbaszek is a Junior Software Engineer at Polidea! Tomek graduated from Warsaw University of Technology, where he studied mathematics. He fancies functional programming and good books.

---------
4th talk

Abstract:
Bartek won’t show you how to write a DAG. He will show you how not to write a DAG at all (and still get things done)!

Speaker Bio:
Bartłomiej Bęczkowski is a Software Engineer working on the Allegro experimentation platform. He tries to make data processing on GCP more convenient by creating the BiggerQuery framework.
