Handson Workshop: The Self-Curation Engine (Gemini + Cloud Run + EventArc) - Anupam Phogat

Data arrives from disparate sources with inconsistent schemas to our warehouse. To solve this, we present a serverless Cloud Run agent that uses the Gemini API to automate schema mapping. Triggered by new data, the agent compares raw schemas to a BigQuery target and dynamically generates the required SQL or Dataform transformations. This talk highlights how AI automates the most manual parts of data engineering: schema maintenance and logic generation.

šŸŽ What’s in it for you?

⚔Workshop on AI from industry experts

šŸ• Cloud-shaped snacks (okay, maybe not literally, but the food will be delicious!)

šŸ¤ Networking that’s as smooth as a well-architected cloud solution

šŸŽ Surprise swag
