💡 Speaker:
Shrinivas Vishnupurikar Kulkarni, Snowflake Data Engineer, ArisDataTalk:
The Lakehouse Story: How Open Table Formats Reshaped Modern Data ArchitectureAbstract:
In this session we will explore:- A short history of how we got from data warehouses and data lakes to the lakehouse — and the engineering trade-offs that forced the shift.
- Open table formats demystified — Iceberg, Delta, and Hudi, and why the table format matters more than the engine sitting on top of it.
- The lakehouse in practice with Snowflake + Iceberg, plus a look at how Kafka plugs in via Tableflow to turn streaming topics into query-ready open tables.

Ajinkya KolheTalk:
Claude Code, NotebookLM & the Discipline of High-Velocity EngineeringAbstract:
Senior engineers working on distributed systems face massive codebases and complex debugging—where AI can deliver 5–10x gains, yet most teams underuse it. This session is a practical playbook for moving beyond autocomplete into agentic workflows.
We’ll cover advanced Claude Code setups with key MCP integrations, maintaining clean and testable AI-generated code, rapid onboarding to large repos using NotebookLM and Gemini, and a Chrome-based workflow that connects everything into a high-velocity engineering loop.-----

Mustafa Bhanpurawala, Advisory Solutions Engineer, ConfluentTalk:
What’s PTFs in Apache FlinkAbstract:
Process Table Functions (PTFs) are a powerful tool for Flink SQL that bridge the gap between standard queries and custom code by accepting entire tables as input and returning dynamic results. They allow for flexible, schema-adaptive logic that makes complex tasks like sessionization and ML integration significantly easier to manage. In this session, we will break down the anatomy of PTFs and explore real-world use cases for building modular streaming pipelines.***
