🎙️ Gophers Continuing Up the Iceberg (by Matt Topol)

Looking for a non-JVM solution to interact with Iceberg? Avoid spinning up a Spark cluster and use Iceberg with Go! The Golang implementation of Iceberg is continuing along with plenty of progress over the last year.

This talk will introduce classic use cases showing the beauty of utilizing Iceberg with Go, along with what features have been implemented since last year. We'll also cover the roadmap plan for the project in terms of feature support and plans.

🎙️ Lakehouse Catalogs 101 - Governing and Transporting your Iceberg, Delta and Hudi tables (by Alex Merced)

Join Senior Technical Evangelist for Dremio, Alex Merced, as he explores one of the most critical frontiers in the lakehouse ecosystem: catalogs. As the industry embraces the lakehouse paradigm and the variety of table formats like Iceberg, Hudi, and Delta, the next key challenge is understanding the role of lakehouse catalogs. These catalogs govern and track your lakehouse assets, providing essential metadata and ensuring smooth management across different computing engines.

In this talk, Alex will demystify leading catalog solutions such as Apache Polaris (incubating), Nessie, Unity Catalog, Gravitino, Dremio Catalog, and AWS Glue, and guide you through navigating this evolving landscape to effectively manage your lakehouse.

With time for a dynamic Q&A session and, of course, our networking with food 🍕 and drinks 🍻.
