Partner Spotlight - Small Data SF
Hands-on workshops and technical talks with a pragmatic lens on the future of data and AI
What do we mean when we talk about Small Data? It's not about data volume - it's about Real Data workloads. Most workloads don't require Petabytes of data, so why are we obsessed with engineering our systems and workflows for Petabyte scale?
Small Data SF (9/23 - 9/24) is a community gathering for developers and data people to come together and start having the real conversation about simplifying our work now that 10Tb of Big Data now fits on your laptop. Do you really need distributed systems for that?
With hands-on workshops and technical talks from Gemma, Ollama, Prisma, and more, check out the lineup and stay tuned for the full agenda of sessions and workshops dropping later this week 👀
