Eindhoven Data Community meetup 19 - ASML

We’re excited to return to ASML for our annual meetup! This year, we have two concurrent tracks featuring a total of four talks. We're also thrilled to welcome a special guest from the US coming over to ASML: Joe Reis, author of "The Fundamentals of Data Engineering," who will be doing an AMA.

Joe | Ask Me Anything about Data Engineering or Otherwise
Joe Reis is here to answer all of your questions about data engineering, the state of the industry and technology, and anything else on your mind. This is a very rare change to have a free-flowing conversation with Joe Reis.

Cristiano & Shashank| Automating Creating Trusted Data Products: a developer experience-driven approach
Creating high-quality data products is a complex task that often burdens data professionals with repetitive activities. Our trusted dataset creation framework aims to alleviate this challenge by providing a comprehensive mechanism that automates essential processes in data product development. This presentation will delve into how it not only simplifies workflows but also improves developer experience by enhancing feedback loops and cognitive load.

Juan | Standardization of Predictive Maintenance Pipelines
Juan will show how his team, The Model Factory, is currently setting up a framework that ensures that all our predictive maintenance pipelines follow standards that ensure 1) Short time-to-market, 2) maintainability, and 3) interpretability of outputs and intermediate calculations.

Ismael & Ricardo | Airflow 3.0: A New Perspective on MLOps and GenAi
The new version of Airflow is more than just a tool for data orchestration, and is coming up early 2025. Airflow It's evolving to meet the needs derived by the explosion of GenAi applications, and it is even changing its internal architecture to be faster and more flexible.
In this talk, we'll discuss how Airflow 3.0 is evolving to support the requirements of modern applications. We'll also provide a practical example of using Airflow with a RAG implementation. It's a look at the future of Airflow, and we hope you'll join us.
