Recap: data engineering meetup July 2025

Our latest Data Engineering Meetup took place on July 22nd in Berlin. Despite the not very summery weather, a diverse and large group of data-loving people came together to enjoy Aleksandr Kudriavtcev’s talk featuring cute cats, candid opinions, and plenty of technical depth.

And the event didn’t end with the talk: for the first time, we also included an interactive part using Mentimeter, which sparked a wide range of insights and showcased the diversity of our data community. Conversations continued well into the evening, accompanied by food from the grillmaster, until it got dark outside.

We can’t wait to host the next one – stay tuned!

On March 13th 2025, we have been focussing on scaling analytics with dbt and simplifying Kubernetes job execution. Thanks to everyone who attended our event last Thursday as part of the audience and by connecting with us and like-minded people over a drink or a pretzel. We were impressed by the specific questions that came up during and after the talks!
