“Fast and Furious: Unleashing DuckDB & dbt for Analytics Engineers’ Local Triumphs” with Mehdi Ouazza, Data Engineer
What happens if you combine DuckDB, a light, and fast analytical database, with dbt? Discover how this dynamic duo can streamline your development workflow and enhance testing and continuous integration processes. Quack into the world of faster testing, reliable data pipelines

“Massive datasets: Managing our hot-cold storage strategy with dbt at Ecosia” with Zsofia Bognar, Data Insights Lead
At Ecosia we collect 150-200million events per day, consuming up to 4 GB of space on our Redshift cluster, which we need to manage being highly conscious of cost. In my talk I will discuss our journey to tackle this problem with dbt, what crossroads we faced, and how it’s helped us to create a flexible and consistent data product that meets our organisation's needs.
