Parquet Files: What They Are and When to Use Them Instead of CSV
CSVs are everywhere, but they're slow, bloated, and lossy. Parquet is the format that data engineers actually use — and it's easier to work with than you think.
What Is DuckDB and Why Are Data People So Excited About It?
Query CSV files, Parquet, JSON — even data straight from the web — without setting up a database. DuckDB runs anywhere and handles surprisingly large data on just your laptop.
Past Events
