About the Event

Data is only as valuable as the pipelines that process it. In this hands-on workshop, we dive deep into how to architect and deploy highly scalable, serverless data pipelines on Google Cloud.

The complexity of managing infrastructure shouldn't slow down your insights. We will explore how to automate and accelerate your data workflows using two distinct approaches:

1. Code-Driven Pipelines: For maximum flexibility and control.

2. Visual, Zero-Code Workflows: Leveraging Cloud Data Fusion for rapid integration.

Whether you are transforming raw inputs or routing clean data into BigQuery, you will leave this session with the practical skills needed to modernize your data engineering stack without the headache of managing servers.

What You’ll Learn

• Architecting for Scale: Understand the principles of serverless data engineering.

• Cloud Data Fusion: Build complex ETL/ELT pipelines using a visual interface.

• Code-First Integration: Deploying pipelines that scale automatically with your data volume.

• BigQuery Mastery: Routing and analyzing processed data for immediate business value.
