**DISCLAIMER: NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE** \~\~\~\~ Hi all! this month (10th Jan to 31st Jan) is slightly special. I am participating in the #RUNFORHAL event which is an initiative to support those affected by ALS/MND and to spread awareness for the urgency to find treatments and cures. Also in memory of Hal Finney and his contribution to Bitcoin: https://x.com/halfin/status/1992697342081081664?s=20 You can make a donation here for Hal Finney ALS Research Fund.: https://secure.alsnetwork.org/site/TR/Endurance/General?pg=personal&px=1248759&fr_id=1690 \~\~\~\~ Casual run of about 3.5km - 4km. Hais, seems like there isnt a a community run group on bitcoin in Singapore. No choice i have to do this. Please visit below page to sign up (Dont pangseh hor). https://www.meetup.com/runningbitcoinsg It is the only way I can filter out the bots. There is always more things to learn about Bitcoin. One of it being low time preference. The group welcomes anyone who is interested in knowing more about saving in bitcoin or simply just want to join us to have a good run. Dont say I bojio\~

We're thrilled to invite you to an evening focused on the practical, real-world use of Apache Iceberg and the growing ecosystem around it. Hosted by VeloDB, Starburst, and Confluent at the CACIB offices in Singapore. Whether you're running Iceberg in production, exploring new architectures, or looking to connect with others solving similar data challenges, this is a great opportunity to learn and collaborate over snacks and drinks! **Agenda** * 18:30–19:00 Food, Drinks & Networking * 19:00–19:05 Welcome! * 19:05–19:35 **Unlocking Modern Data Lakes with Starburst, Iceberg & Ozone** * 19:35-20:05 **Why Apache Iceberg Matters for Your Data** * 20:05-20:35 **From Iceberg to AI: Accelerating Lakehouse Analytics and Hybrid Retrieval with Apache Doris** * 20:35–21:00 Networking **Session 1** **Unlocking Modern Data Lakes with Starburst, Iceberg & Ozone** Siva Periyasamy, Head of Data Engineering and Data Platform, OCBC Bank Siva Periyasamy is the Head of Data Engineering and Data Platform at OCBC Bank, bringing over 25 years of experience in the banking industry with deep expertise in data and analytics. Since joining OCBC in 2005, Siva has played a pivotal role in the bank’s data transformation journey, leading a team of data engineers, enabling them to create machine learning models and manage big data platforms. Siva oversees OCBC’s data platform and specifically Starburst, supporting the bank’s broader machine learning and AI initiatives. His leadership has been instrumental in enabling data-driven innovation across the organization. **Session 2** **Why Apache Iceberg Matters for Your Data** Shelvia Hotama, Senior Solutions Engineer, Confluent If you’re hearing about Apache Iceberg for the first time, think of it as a smarter way to manage large analytics tables on your data lake. It helps keep your data organized, reliable, and fast to query, without tying you to a single engine or vendor. In this session, we’ll break down what Iceberg is in plain language, show how it’s different from older table formats, and walk through real examples of how it makes everyday data work easier. We’ll talk about things like safe updates, changing table schemas without pain, and “time travel” queries so you can see how your data looked in the past. **Session 3** **From Iceberg to AI: Accelerating Lakehouse Analytics and Hybrid Retrieval with Apache Doris** Matt Yi, Apache Doris PMC Member & Tech VP at VeloDB The Lakehouse architecture, powered by open table formats such as Apache Iceberg, has become the foundation for modern analytics and AI workloads. However, efficiently serving diverse query patterns, ranging from large-scale analytical SQL to text and vector retrieval, remains a key challenge. In this talk, we introduce how Apache Doris enhances the Iceberg-based Lakehouse with high-performance query acceleration and materialized views, enabling faster and more cost-efficient analytics directly on open data. Building on this foundation, we explore Doris for AI: a unified engine that provides seamless access to structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data through hybrid search and analytics. Doris combines analytical queries, full-text search, and vector search in a single system, making it easier to support retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and other AI-driven applications on Lakehouse data. Finally, we share Doris’s roadmap toward deeper integration with open table formats. This includes plans for managed Iceberg tables and bringing native inverted and vector indexing capabilities directly to Iceberg data, enabling zero-copy, high-performance analytical and retrieval workloads. The session outlines how Doris aims to bridge analytics and AI on open data, turning the Lakehouse into a truly multi-modal data foundation. **How to find us** [Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank](https://maps.app.goo.gl/JXJGHQeX5oTiBfgw9) Mapletree Business City Blk 20 West 20 Pasir Panjang Road Singapore, 117439 , Level 13

Learn how a GenAI application is helping organizations move beyond reactive security measures by identifying, analyzing, and mitigating cybersecurity threats before incidents occur. This session explores how to take proactive security measures before incidents happen through automated cybersecurity assessments that minimize business impact. The application addresses a critical challenge facing security teams: centralizing disparate data sources by creating a single pane of glass for security data from AWS environments, SaaS providers, on-premises systems, and cloud sources into a purpose-built data lake stored in the client's account. Attendees will discover how this approach delivers tangible outcomes, including accelerated threat investigations using natural language processing, identification of critical areas to proactively prioritize security efforts, reduced mean time to respond to and detect threats, and enhanced capability to focus on both internal and external data sources. Whether you're looking to strengthen your security posture or streamline your security operations, this session offers practical insights into leveraging GenAI for proactive cybersecurity. **Timeline:** **6:00 PM** \- Doors Open\.
