⁠
Details

Following a short break over the summer, we’re excited to kick off a new season of our Data & Drinks event series. Join us on September 15th at 17:30 PM at Xomnia's HQ in the heart of Amsterdam for an informative session featuring two talks:

1. “The Data Stack of 2025”, presented by Data Advocate, Architect and Speaker Ibrahim Elawadi. He will speak about the developments in the data landscape and will shed light about the data stack which we will use in 2025.
2. “Data Mesh, is decentralization the solution to scalability problems?” by Senior Cloud Solution Architect at Microsoft and Author Piethein Strengholt. Data Mesh is hot in the world of data, and is perceived as an answer to the centralization problems of data warehouse and data lake architectures. In this discussion, Piethein will take a closer look at the revision that Data Mesh proposes, looking at its different dimensions and advantages, as well as the challenges and disadvantages that this concept brings.\
