What We Are
Florida's pre-eminent conference dedicated to Open Source Software (OSS) and Big Data
Why This Conference?
Attending a conference on Big Data trends isn't an option. It's a necessity. And this one is FREE.
Why?
Because data isn't static. It evolves. It grows. It surprises.
And with it, the tools and techniques to manage it evolve too.
๐ Witnessing these changes firsthand at a conference can be the difference between leading the data revolution or chasing it.
Embed yourself in the epicenter of the Big Data landfall.
What Can I Expect from This Conference?
Expect to hear from the brightest minds in the field. They'll share insights that will shake the very foundation of your data architecture. They'll provide practical tips and strategies that you can implement right away.
๐กPrepare to have your perspective challenged. Prepare to have your approach transformed.
Why Open Source for Big Data?
๐ฅ Hot take: Open source data analytics tools are the unsung heroes in the tech world. ๐
They're quietly revolutionizing how we understand data. ๐ No more gatekeeping. No more high-cost barriers. These tools are democratizing data analytics. ๐๏ธ
Here's the kicker: they're free! ๐ธ But don't let the price tag fool you. These tools pack a punch. They're powerful. They're versatile. They're being used by industry giants and startups alike. ๐ช
What will I Learn?
Think about Apache Pinot. ๐ It's not just a real-time distributed OLAP datastore. It's a stethoscope. It lets you peer into the state of your business, exposing key events as they happen.
And Elasticsearch? It's not just a search engine. It's a needle-in-a-haystack finder. It sifts through vast oceans of data, finding the golden insights that others miss. ๐งฒ๐
Delta Lake? It's not a mere storage layer. It's your business's safety net. It ensures data integrity and reliability, even when everything else is going haywire. ๐ก๏ธ
