Details

Alexey Grigorev is hosting a live hands-on workshop to explore how Docker can simplify your data workflows, from setting up databases to packaging your scripts for reproducibility.
​This session is open to everyone interested in learning practical Docker skills for data engineering and analytics.
​During the workshop, we’ll walk through a complete workflow using Docker, PostgreSQL, pgAdmin, and Docker Compose, showing how to run and connect multiple services with minimal setup effort.
​
​What you’ll learn:

  • ​Why Docker is essential for modern data work
  • ​Running PostgreSQL in a Docker container and connecting it to your local environment
  • ​Connecting with pgcli or directly from Jupyter notebooks
  • ​Loading and exploring the NYC Taxi dataset
  • ​Managing databases visually with pgAdmin 4 (latest UI)
  • ​Converting notebooks to scripts and Dockerizing them
  • ​Running multi-container setups with Docker Compose
  • ​Understanding Docker networking, port mapping, and volumes

​The workshop will be recorded and later used to refresh the Docker module of the Data Engineering Zoomcamp, so you’ll also get a preview of what’s coming in the new course release.
