Full day training session for SQLBits 2026Friday - 24 Apr 2026 - 11:20 - 13:10 Room 4ATL; DR
Learn how to build a data lakehouse using Apache Iceberg on AWS. Tackle real-world challenges including streaming ingestion, table maintenance, change data capture, GDPR compliance, ML experiment reproducibility, and interoperability.
Session Details
A data lakehouse is a modern data architecture that combines the best of data lakes and data warehouses. It supports traditional business intelligence (BI), analytics, and machine learning (ML) workloads, enabling organizations to make informed decisions and drive business value.
In this workshop, you'll learn how to build a data lakehouse using Apache Iceberg on AWS. Through the story of Unicorn EVs, a fictional electric vehicle rental company, you'll tackle real-world data challenges including streaming ingestion, table maintenance, change data capture, medallion architecture, on-demand removal of customers' personal data (e.g., GDPR compliance), ML experiment reproducibility with time travel, and cross-platform analytics.
