The October edition of the Data & Drinks monthly event series features Michael The & Dini Louseiro, Data Engineers at Dutch supermarket app Picnic Technologies.
Together, our guest speakers will take us through the latest release of Picnic, called Diepvries. Diepvries is a simple Python interface that generates complex SQL queries used to load a complete Data Vault model. It automates the data loading process for Data Vault and avoids the maintenance of repetitive SQL queries for ETL jobs.
During the talk, our speakers will dive into the Diepvries' functionalities, going over Data Vault programmability, SQL generation and Data model deserialization. They will go over how they automated their ETL pipeline, why they chose to write our their framework, and what it takes to open source one of your libraries.
