Talks: 

Talk 1: Your data, your way: Elevate your data game with BigQuery remote functions by Yash Mehta

In this session, we'll embark on a journey to uncover the transformative potential of BigQuery remote functions. We'll begin with the overview of remote functions, its functionality, advantages, and some use cases. This will be followed by a case study that showcases how BigQuery remote functions can be deployed to decrypt data on the fly, eliminating the need for unencrypted data storage. Finally, Yash will discuss how to deploy and maintain BigQuery remote functions using Terraform ensuring seamless integration with existing infrastructure and security practices. By the end of this session, you'll not only grasp the technical nuances but also walk away with modules to help accelerate your journey into developing and deploying BigQuery Remote Functions.

Talk 2: Unleashing Scalability and Flexibility: A Deep Dive into Google Cloud Platform's Serverless Service by Anupam Phoghat

Serverless is hot, everyone knows it. But when it comes to taking the plunge, the "how" can seem daunting. Join me, a fellow developer from the ANZ community, as I share my real-world journey building, deploying, and scaling applications with one of Google Cloud Platform's (GCP) most dynamic offerings - Cloud Run. In this technical talk, we will delve into the intricacies of Cloud Run, uncovering its architecture, key features, and real-world applications.

This talk isn't just a technical deep dive (though we'll get there!); it's a tale of trenches, demons, and ultimately, triumph.
