About Event

Join us for another great evening of practical technical sessions, real-world lessons from the field, and open discussions around the Future of Data Infrastructure

This NYC Spark meetup brings together data engineers, platform teams, and anyone who's spent too many hours staring at the Spark UI. Two talks on where Spark performance is headed - one on modernizing what you already run, one on what's coming next in Spark itself. Food, drinks, and time to trade stories with people who actually enjoy talking about shuffle skew.

🔔 Seats are limited, RSVP soon to secure your spot!
