This in-person meetup was held on 31 January, 2025 at the Koramangala Club.
50 participants registered for the meetup; 30 participants were present at the meetup, including engineers with 4+ years experience, and architects.
Achal Shah discussed the evolution of compute engines and data architectures. He covered the shift from distributed processing engines like Spark to single node OLAP engines like DuckDB, and the move towards lakehouse architectures that combine the best of data lakes and data warehouses. Achal also touched on the rise of Python as the de facto API for data ecosystems, and the trend towards building focused end-user applications rather than platforms. He concluded by speaking about real-time machine learning and MLOps, and the challenges of data cleaning and feature engineering
Sandeep Joshi - founder at Kognitos, and editor of data engineering track at The Fifth Elephant - curated the meetup, and moderated the discussion.
Achal has worked at the intersection of ML Infrastructure and Systems for years now, focused on real-time and streaming systems. After the discussion, participants networked with each other.
Achal is Tech Lead Manager (TLM) at Tecton.
This meetup was open to anyone who wants to attend. Numberz.ai sponsored the meetup by hosting it, and arranging for Achal’s stay in Bangalore.
