Alexey Grigorev is hosting a live hands-on workshop to explore how Docker can simplify your data workflows, from setting up databases to packaging your scripts for reproducibility. ​This session is open to everyone interested in learning practical Docker skills for data engineering and analytics. ​During the workshop, we’ll walk through a complete workflow using Docker, PostgreSQL, pgAdmin, and Docker Compose, showing how to run and connect multiple services with minimal setup effort. ​ ​What you’ll learn:

• ​Why Docker is essential for modern data work
• ​Running PostgreSQL in a Docker container and connecting it to your local environment
• ​Connecting with pgcli or directly from Jupyter notebooks
• ​Loading and exploring the NYC Taxi dataset
• ​Managing databases visually with pgAdmin 4 (latest UI)
• ​Converting notebooks to scripts and Dockerizing them
• ​Running multi-container setups with Docker Compose
• ​Understanding Docker networking, port mapping, and volumes

​The workshop will be recorded and later used to refresh the Docker module of the Data Engineering Zoomcamp, so you’ll also get a preview of what’s coming in the new course release. ​ ​Thinking about DE Zoomcamp? ​Data Engineering Zoomcamp is a free 9-week course on building production-ready data pipelines. The next cohort starts in January 2026. Join the course here. ​ ​About the Speaker ​Alexey Grigorev is the Founder of DataTalks.Club and creator of the Zoomcamp series. ​​Alexey is a seasoned software and ML engineer with over 10 years in engineering and 6+ years in machine learning.
