Sydney Data Eng meetup, April Edition

Solid data eng crowd at Tech Central, and they actually talk about pipelines instead of just "the future of AI.

Two solid talks on infrastructure problems that actually affect your pipelines. Zac Davies from ANZ walks through Delta Sharing and how lakehouse table formats are changing data access patterns across platforms. Peter Flook, who built Data Caterer, covers data contracts in practice, showing how to embed them into CI/CD and catch breaking changes before they break downstream systems. The meetup runs from 6pm with talks back-to-back starting at 6:40pm, leaving a solid 20 minutes for networking afterward. Optiver's hosting and providing food, so you'll have a room full of people actually working on data infrastructure problems.
