Plovdiv Tech Meetup #1

Plovdiv’s tech community is coming together for Volume 1 of Plovdiv Tech Meetup. 🚀

On Thursday, 9 November, join us at Lambda Space Coworking.

Our expert speakers are going to deliver exciting talks from the realm of data and software engineering that you should not miss.

1️⃣ ENABLING/DISABLING GROWTH: TECH DECISIONS THAT DRIVE CUSTOMER, PRODUCT AND DATA SUCCESS
Speaker: Filip Yankov, Chief Architect, Novarto

Every software project begins with a set of crucial decisions. Choose wisely and you will be setting up your project for success.

Filip’s talk will explore the decisions that drive customer, product, and data growth, some of which are:
- Data storage choice;
- Do you need real-time data?
- Do you need real-time cache?
- Do you need real-time processing?
- Do you need scalability?
- Do you need ML?
- Do you need a cloud-native solution?

This presentation will be touching upon the foundations of building a product, steering it through growth and ensuring it caters to an ever-evolving landscape of needs. Filip is here to ask the important questions but to help you arrive at the right answers.

2️⃣ AZURE EVENT HUBS INTEGRATION WITH SNOWFLAKE
Speakers: Kostadin Varbanov and Ivo Ivanov, Data Engineers, Infinite Lambda

Join us for an exciting deep dive into a real-world data project. Data engineers Ivo and Kostadin are going to present a use case that focuses on the collection, structuring and representation of data.

Leveraging the powerful combination of Azure Event hubs and Snowflake, they built a solution based on a fairly decoupled approach.

What sets this project apart? The system does not rely on multiple different architectural structures to function properly, so it is less prone to errors and surprises. Set up within the Azure environment, the solution offers high flexibility in terms of integration but also monitoring, testing and alerting. Join us for this session and see how all of this comes together.
