✅ Step-by-step DBT setup with BigQuery in a Python project using UV tool.
✅ Practical insights into DBT projects, dependencies, and initialization.
✅ Real-world implementation of DBT seeds for CSV uploads.

"Hacking and defending CI/CD pipelines" by Eduard Agavriloae (30-45 min)

You have a good CI/CD pipeline, but the devs can push directly into deployment branches? Or maybe you're leveraging a high number of third-party tools for efficiency, but have you ever reviewed them? Join us for short talk about how CI/CD pipelines can be compromised and what are the things you can do to prevent that.
