HCMC dbt Meetup #10
Details
HCMC dbt Meetup is back for its tenth edition, with two talks covering opposite ends of the data spectrum: the decisions your analysis is meant to support, and the stack you need to run the analysis in the first place.
🗓️ Saturday, 31 October, 9:30 am to 12:00 pm
📍 Inspire Hub 1, 03 Nguyễn Cơ Thạch, phường An Khánh, Hồ Chí Minh
_ _ LINE UP _ _
1️⃣ FROM DATA TO DECISIONS, FROM DECISIONS TO VALUE
Nam Nguyen, Data and AI Advisor at TheDecisionQ
Most analytics work starts in the wrong place, with a request coming in, a model getting built. Somewhere along the way, the connection to an actual decision gets lost.
Nam's talk introduces Decision Data Science and the Decision Quality framework, a structured approach that starts from a clear problem frame, meaningful alternatives, and reliable information. The result is analysis that fits directly into the decision engine rather than sitting beside it.
2️⃣ THE $0 DATA STACK: DUCKDB + dbt + METABASE
Minh Nguyen, Analytics Engineer at Joon Solutions
Can a small business get a real analytics stack without paying for the cloud? Let’s try to build one live.
Starting from raw ecommerce CSVs,
Minh will walk through building a shared dashboard using DuckDB, dbt, and Metabase, all free and running on a single laptop. Along the way, he will address the most important questions: is it secure, can a single person maintain it, and when is it time to graduate to a cloud warehouse?
_ _ THIS EVENT IS PERFECT FOR:
- Data practitioners of any level looking to learn from peers in a casual setting
- Students and early-career folks curious about real-world data work
- Business owners and startup teams wanting to get started with analytics on a budget
_ _ GOOD TO KNOW _ _
