Jae will present an introduction to a collection of open-source Docker environments designed to help you build and learn about modern data platforms.
This session is perfect for engineers interested in getting hands-on experience with Kafka, Flink, Spark, Iceberg, and Pinot, along with tools for management and observability.
We will also introduce a series of hands-on tutorials designed to guide you through building a complete, end-to-end data pipeline—from data ingestion with Kafka to real-time analytics and visualization.
