About this event

🎉 Exciting News for Our October Snowflake User Group! 🎉

We’re thrilled to announce a special joint event with Personio and the Data Science and Engineering Club, hosted by the veteran data engineer Roman Golovnya! You can check out the club here: Data Science and Engineering Club.

What’s in store?

Dmytro Yaroshenko, flying in from Snowflake’s London office, will take the stage to dive deep into Dynamic Tables and how these and other Snowflake features automate Data Pipelines. Expect to uncover cutting-edge techniques that can transform your data flows!

The second hot topic: Open Table Formats and Apache Iceberg. Douglas Zickuhr from Personio will share how they are using Iceberg, Spark, and Snowflake to power their advanced data platform.

Join us for an evening of insights, networking, and inspiration! This is one you won’t want to miss.

Agenda

17:45 | Arrivals, Canapes, Networking

18:15 | Don’t Let Your Data Sink! Iceberg Tables in Snowflake at Personio. Douglas Zickuhr, Personio.

Douglas will be talking about how Personio is improving data collection by using Iceberg tables in Snowflake. We’ll explain how we carefully handle customer data, following strict security and privacy rules. This includes using Spark to process data first, so we avoid storing sensitive information into our analytics platform. We’ll talk about the different ways you can organise data in Snowflake, compare how Iceberg tables perform against regular tables, and show how we set this up using code with Terraform. We’ll also share the current progress of our project, the challenges we’ve faced, and what we’ve learned so far.

18:45 | Automating Data Pipelines with Dynamic Tables, Dmytro Yaroshenko, Snowflake (Presentation and Demo)

Dynamic tables are now a reality. Let’s come together to discuss how they compare and contrast with other building blocks of the Snowflake data platform for modern data engineering. We'll explore use cases, the overall vision, and of course, see them in action!

From 19:45 till late | Networking in a pub (tbc)
