Events
Meetups we organise, and the sessions after.
When a migration to Databricks has stalled, or the team can't get through the backlog of report requests, TechFabric is who companies bring in to move the data, build the pipelines and reports the business trusts, and put AI agents to work on them. These meetups are where our engineers show that work in the open, including the parts that broke.
The Gilbert Databricks User Group meets at our office in the Phoenix metro, the Dnipro Databricks User Group is run by our engineering team in Ukraine, and Phoenix Data & AI is for data engineers, analytics leaders and AI builders on any stack.
Our engineers speak at Databricks and Microsoft events too. Every session is listed here before it happens and written up after it, with the slides, the photos and the questions people asked, so if your team is weighing Lakebase or an AI agent, you can see what it took us to ship one.
Upcoming
Nothing scheduled right now. The next meetup appears here first, then on usergroups.databricks.com and meetup.com.

From a six-line ticket to embedded analytics on Databricks
Andrii Taran on a customer's six-line ticket for dashboards inside their own SaaS portal. He walked through why the first, federated version came out slow, and how moving the data into Delta cut a full dashboard load from about two minutes to 20 seconds.

Building applications on Lakebase: Postgres, Databricks Apps and AI in one place
Preetham Reddy built an app live on Lakebase, with an AI agent that sees only what its user may see. It's how we'd give the business an app on its own data, with Postgres beside the analytics and no copy job between them.
