Open-source is transforming the data engineering space. By combining tools like Parquet, Arrow, Datafusion, DuckDB, and Dagster, data product creation can achieve a collective 1000x improvement in cost, performance, and simplicity. Plus — thanks to LLMs, it has never been easier to quickly learn how to build with these tools!

Join Christian Casazza, Data Engineer, where he’ll speak about The Open Data Stack. He’ll show you how to use these open-source tools to ingest transit data from government data portals/3rd party APIs, run a SQL transformation pipeline, and visualize the results as a live web app (all for free from your laptop!). Then, learn how to work with an LLM like ChatGPT to write ETL code, build SQL queries, and create frontend apps.
