The Agenda 2025

❓ You're managing databases that live in cloud whether it be AWS, Azure, and Google, and you're getting a lot of questions about slow performance and crazy costs. ❓Your users want everything faster and cheaper, and you're not finding good answers. Join me, Brent Ozar, for a day of real-time demos, honest war stories, and practical fixes.

❓Are you looking to advance your career by taking the DP-700 exam to become a certified Microsoft Fabric Data Engineer (DP-700)? This full-day session will provide a comprehensive overview of data engineering on the Fabric platform, AND you will learn exactly what it takes to pass the DP-700 certification exam.

So you’ve heard of Databricks, but after setting up a notebook and writing some code you’re still not sure what the fuss is all about. Yes you’ve heard it’s Spark, but then there’s this Delta thing that’s both a data lake and a data warehouse (isn’t that what Iceberg is?). And then Unity Catalog, which does more than just catalog data, it does access management but even surprising things like optimise your data and programmatic access to lineage and billing? But then serverless came out and now you don’t even have to learn Spark? And of course there’s a bunch of AI stuff to use or create yourself. So why not spend a single day learning the details of what Databricks does, and how it could make you look like a rockstar Data Engineer.
