Hi All,

I just started a new adventure with Tenable.

At the same time Daniel and Terry from Gilt/HBC reached out ...

... and here we are!!!

We have 2 great talks about what Gilt/HBC and Tenable are doing with Spark (and will/want to do with Spark in the future) (see below).

Doors will open at 18:30. Talks will start at 19:00. We expect the talks to be ~30 mins with ~10 mins for questions.

Pizza and Beer will be served.

See you then/there.

Regards ...
Roland

Title: Using Spark to power our next-gen Data-Warehouse

Presenter: Terry McCartan

Bio: Senior Data Lead at HBC; Background in Scala Engineering, Micro-Services and API Design

Target Audience:

- Enterprise DW users considering moving to Spark
- Beginner/Moderate level Spark users
- Both Engineers and Data Architects
- No previous Scala - Spark coding knowledge required

Abstract:

HBC has taken on the challenge of redesigning its data stack from a traditional all-in-one Data Warehousing solution to a Spark - Apache ecosystem.

Terry McCartan, Senior Data Lead will take you through the exciting journey that is a migration; sharing challenges encountered, solutions and lessons learned.

This talk will appeal to Data Engineers and Architects alike, looking to be convinced to migrate, learning about considerations of a migration, or wanting to compare their already established Spark environment.

Although the talk will include technical specifics and code snippets (in Scala), it is beginner friendly.
