For the past decade, SQL has reigned king of the data transformation world, and tools like dbt have formed a cornerstone of the modern data stack. Until recently, Python-first alternatives couldn't compete with the scale and performance of modern SQL. Now Ibis can provide the same benefits of SQL execution with a flexible Python dataframe API.

In this talk, you will learn how Ibis supercharges open-source libraries like Kedro, Pandera, and the Boring Semantic Layer and how you can combine these technologies (and a few more) to build and orchestrate scalable data engineering pipelines without sacrificing the comfort (and other advantages) of Python.
