Orchestrating and managing end-to-end production pipelines have remained a bottleneck for many organizations. Data teams spend too much time stitching pipeline tasks and manually managing and monitoring the orchestration process – with heavy reliance on external or cloud-specific orchestration solutions, all of which slow down the delivery of new data. In this session, we introduce you to Databricks Workflows: a fully managed orchestration service for all your data, analytics, and AI, built in the Databricks Lakehouse Platform. Join us as we dive deep into the new workflow capabilities, and understand the integration with the underlying platform. You will learn how to create and run reliable production workflows, centrally manage and monitor workflows, and learn how to implement recovery actions such as repair and run, as well as other new features.

Auto-Encoder-Decoder is a type of deep learning neural network architecture with an hourglass shape, high dimensional inputs are compressed to latent space through the encoder. The decoder mirrors the encoder architecture and reconstructs the input data from the latent space. Auto-Encoder-Decoder models are commonly used for anomaly detection, after training, the reconstructed error of normal data is minimized thus anomaly can be detected if its reconstructed error gets higher than the “normal threshold”. This presentation will demonstrate an Auto-Encoder-Decoder anomaly detection solution built with the Lakehouse Paradigm, from data management to after-deployment monitoring, to explain the entire model life cycle. It will also highlight the flexibility and scalability that MLflow custom model and Pandas UDF can bring when a large number of individual models need to be trained, deployed, and monitored in parallel.

Delta Lake and Lakehouse architectures have been instrumental technologies in providing a better foundation for dealing with streaming and data deltas via an open-industry standard. The rapid growth of the ecosystem is a testament to the success of this approach. However, challenges still remain in building a data platform that allows teams to process all data via streams, regardless of the age of data, while also being able to view all streams as tables without exporting data out of the streaming system. In this talk, we will take a hands-on look at how Apache Pulsar is building it’s core storage engine on the concepts of Lakehouse architectures, allowing teams to build data platforms that can manage data over its entire lifecycle and enabling data to be consumed as either a stream or a table. With these capabilities, we will show how Pulsar + Delta Lake empowers teams, regardless of toolset, to better focus on driving value from data, not just managing it.

Delta Lake has quickly grown in usage across data lakes everywhere due to the growing use cases that require DML capabilities that Delta Lake brings. Outside of support for ACID transactions, users want the ability to interactively query the data in their data lake. This is where a query engine like Trino (formerly PrestoSQL) comes in. Starburst provides an enterprise version of the popular Trino MPP SQL query engine and has recently open sourced their Delta Lake connector.

In this talk, Tom and Claudius will talk about the connector, its features, and how their users are taking advantage of expanding the functionality of their data lakes with improved performance and the ability to handle colliding modifications. Get started with this feature-rich and open stack without the need of a multi-million dollar budget.

Apache Kafka in conjunction with Apache Spark became the de facto standard for processing and analyzing data. Both frameworks are open, flexible, and scalable. Unfortunately, the latter makes operations a challenge for many teams. Ideally, teams can use serverless SaaS offerings to focus on business logic. However, hybrid and multi-cloud scenarios require a cloud-native platform that provides automated and elastic tooling to reduce the operations burden.

This post explores different architecture to build serverless Kafka and Spark multi-cloud architectures across regions and continents. We start from the analytics perspective of a data lake and explore its relation to a fully integrated data streaming layer with Kafka to build a modern data lakehouse. Real-world use cases show the joint value and explore the benefit of the "delta lake" integration.

Over the last few years two new approaches to data management have been developed in the data community: Data Mesh and Data Lakehouse. The latter is an open architecture that pushes the technological advancements of a Data Lake by adding data management capabilities proven by a long history of Data Warehousing practices. Data Mesh on the other hand is addressing data management challenges from an organizational angle, by advocating decentralized ownership of domain data while applying product thinking and domain-driven design to analytics data. At first one might think that those two architectural approaches are competing with each other, however in this talk you will learn that the two are rather orthogonal and can go very well together.
