Is your data strategy future-proof? Would you like to better understand the interlocking tensions between modern architectural patterns and data retention requirements? As storage costs continue to reduce and data compliance requirements increase, application developers and data architects face tough choices about how best to satisfy all stakeholders. There are very few simple answers.

Join Oliver Marshall and Malcolm Sparks for an all-day workshop designed to equip participants with the knowledge of key tools and strategies for handling time-sensitive data within relational databases and beyond.

The workshop will focus on the practical aspects of key topics including ETL/ELT, versioning, snapshots, retention, and temporal analytics using SQL. Through a mix of presentations and hands-on exercises, participants will discover the benefits and trade-offs involved across widely applicable scenarios and technologies.

The workshop is suitable for anyone with a basic understanding of SQL — just bring a laptop along with Docker installed, and enjoy a day packed with learning, lively discussion, and the chance to connect with fellow data enthusiasts!
