* 5:30pm~7:30pm: Tech talks and Hands-on Workshop
* 7:30pm~8:00pm: Q&A, wrap-up
​
⚡️ Workshop 1 — Foundations: Build Your Own Pipeline
​Start from scratch and assemble a complete data pipeline using Aiven services.
- Provision and manage services
-Connect systems into a unified pipeline
​- Build an observability setup
- ​Query real-time data across services using SQL
​​
⚡️ Workshop 2 — Advanced: Real-Time Retail Streaming Pipeline
​Go deeper with a real, production-inspired use case.
- ​Design and implement a high-quality streaming pipeline
- Work with real-time retail data flows
- Apply best practices for scalability and reliability

What you’ll learn:

• Deploy and scale OpenSearch for production
• Best practices for vector and hybrid search
• Build efficient real-time data pipelines
• Design and optimize RAG architectures

​Why attend?

• Build a production-style data pipeline
• Learn how to connect Kafka, ClickHouse, OpenSearch, and PostgreSQL into a working, real-time architecture.
• Learn by doing and Apply proven patterns
• Provision services, stream data, and run queries yourself using both UI and CLI workflows.
• Walk away with practical approaches you can reuse for streaming, analytics, and observability use cases.

Who Should Attend:
Developer and data engineer, interested in moving from prototype to production with OpenSearch.
