​​SESSION DESCRIPTIONS

• ​UC: The Everything Catalog
  It’s been four years since Unity Catalog has been introduced, originally to manage access to organised data and files. Today it’s the backbone of many exciting advancements including federated connectivity to third party services, table format agnosticism, automatically delivered system tables, lineage, background table optimisations, the list goes on. Join us to hear the latest developments and what the future holds.

• ​Lakebase: Adding OLTP to the acronym stack of ELT, OLAP, BI & AI
  In June, Databricks announced its acquisition of Neon, a managed postgres company. This isn’t just any old postgres instance, it has separated storage and compute (sound familiar?), branching, and now an integration to a unified data + AI platform. Together we’ll go through what transactional data can do for you, and how it works with Databricks.

• ​Don’t spend more than you have to with Cost Controls on Databricks
  No one likes being slapped with a massive cloud bill, especially ones caused by silly mistakes. Databricks has invested heavily into cost controls so you know how much you’re spending, prevent accidental spend, keep to your budget, and charge back to that vibe coding data scientist that insisted on GPUs.  

• ​New Features Rapidfire
  With so many new features, we can’t possibly go through them all, so this is a rapidfire of new features with a 30 second overview of what they do.
