From APIs to Warehouses: AI-Assisted Data Ingestion with dlt
·OnlineOnlineThis hands-on workshop focuses on building reliable data ingestion pipelines to data warehouses (for example, Snowflake) using dlt (data load tool), enhanced with LLMs, the dlt dashboard, and dlt MCP.
You’ll work through the key building blocks of a production-ready ingestion setup, including:
- Extracting data from APIs, files, and databases
- Normalizing data into consistent schemas
- Writing data to a data warehouse (e.g. Snowflake)
- Using LLMs to accelerate dlt pipeline development
- Validating data and schema changes using the dlt dashboard and dlt MCP
The session is fully practical and code-driven. By the end of the workshop, you’ll understand how to design maintainable, scalable ingestion pipelines and use AI and validation tools to build them faster and with confidence.## About the Speaker
Aashish Nair is a Data Engineer at dltHub and the creator of the famous dlt deployment course, where he teaches best practices for running dlt pipelines in production.

Building Blocks of Modern Code Agents: Reusable Skills and Role-Based Subagents
Alexey Grigorev — DataTalk.Club
A practical map of modern code agent types and the two key building blocks that make them reliable in real-world development workflows.
Code agents appear in many forms today: chat-based assistants, cloud agents running CI-like workflows, and IDE or terminal agents embedded directly into development environments. In this talk, we’ll map these main categories, discuss what each is good at, and highlight where they commonly fail.We’ll then zoom in on two core building blocks used in modern agent tooling:
- Skills / playbooks — reusable, step-by-step workflows (e.g. understand the repo → implement a change → run checks → produce a clean diff)
- Subagents — specialized roles such as planner, implementer, reviewer, and tester that split complex work into focused, reliable steps
Format: 20 min talk + 10 min Q&A
### 19:05 – Talk #2
Guardrailed Agents at Scale: Zalando’s Support Agent for Incident Triage and Stakeholder Q&A
Ivan Potapov, Saugandh Karan — Zalando SE
We’ll share how Zalando built and shipped a specialized internal support agent that helps engineering teams answer stakeholder questions and triage operational alerts — without drowning in context or compromising production safety.
The agent enriches user requests with relevant observability context (metrics, logs, traces, recent deploys), summarizes what matters, and produces a severity assessment with recommended next steps.
A key challenge is context explosion: pulling “all the data” quickly becomes noisy, slow, and risky. We’ll walk through the architecture patterns and guardrails that keep the system production-ready:
- Retrieval and ranking strategies
- Strict tool boundaries
- Policy-driven response formats
- Evaluation checks to prevent overconfident or unsafe guidance
Finally, we’ll cover rollout and migration: introducing the agent alongside existing workflows, aligning it with architecture guidelines, and iterating based on real incident feedback.
Format: 20 min talk + 10 min Q&A
### 19:35 – Pizza, Drinks & Networking
Invite your friends and join our meetup. Special thanks to our hosts Zalando.
