eSolutions x Big Data Week Bucharest Conference 2024

The Global Festival of Data is just around the corner! We are glad to be organizing the Big Data Week Bucharest Conference once again.  We look forward to meeting you all on October 15-16 at Hotel Novotel Bucharest City Centre. Until then, take a look at some of the things we prepared for the conference!

Let’s Talk AI

There’s no closing the lid on AI and its impact on all aspects of our daily personal and professional lives. The only thing to do now is ride the wave and keep up with recent updates, be it advancements in machine learning algorithms or emerging AI applications in various industries. Embracing this technology will not only enhance our productivity and decision-making but also empower us to navigate the challenges and opportunities that AI presents in this rapidly evolving world.

As Marian Simpetru, Managing Partner at eSolutions, says:

We are in the midst of an AI revolution, with a massive impact on society and the economy, and this technology-phenomenon is a force for innovation and efficiency. With its widespread adoption, the data explosion that underpins AI applications, and the ongoing automation process, it becomes crucial to delve deeper and contribute to the absolute dynamics of AI expertise. As specialists in the field, we continue to invest locally in educating the business environment about the spectacular evolution driven by data and AI, and especially about leveraging this unprecedented technological advancement. Therefore, we carry forward Big Data Week alongside our partners, discussing technological changes, trends, operational challenges, applicability, and the role of ultra-specialized and agile teams as the engine of these changes.

Big Data Projects Increasingly Open Source?

As technology advances, increasingly more companies are seeing the benefits in using open source technologies. The big data industry also sees changes in this respect. While there have always been open source tools available, the recent surge in data volume, variety, and velocity has prompted organizations to reevaluate their data strategies and embrace open source solutions more than ever.

Open source technologies offer several advantages that are particularly appealing in the big data landscape: cost efficiency, flexibility & customization, community collaboration, rapid innovation and interoperability, and our colleagues will discuss at BDW Bucharest several solutions that might prove efficient to your organization as well.

As discussed earlier, big data solutions increasingly make use of open source tools. Discover how by leveraging Kubernetes and open-source technology you can create a dynamic and modular data platform for managing and analyzing large-scale data. This approach offers the flexibility to address both simple and complex data scenarios.

Cristina & Lucian will cover the business requirements, the big data challenges, and the steps needed to implement a reliable and scalable Kubernetes-native data platform. They will also explore the architecture, key modules, and practical applications of this platform.

eSolutions Workshops

Besides the main stage speeches, our colleagues will also hold a few workshops which you can choose from. Let’s see what they’re about below.

This practical, hands-on workshop with Viorel & Lucian provides actionable knowledge that attendants can directly apply to build end-to-end data solutions at scale. Through interactive sessions and live demonstrations, participants will learn how to:

  • ingest data seamlessly with Apache NiFi and Kafka;
  • store and manage data efficiently using MinIO for object storage and Trino for querying;
  • process data at scale with Apache Spark;
  • visualize insights through Apache Superset;
