We're back in 2026! March - 20th, The Precinct, Brisbane - 24th, AUT Events, Auckland July - 24-25th, Melbourne - 28-29th The Collider, Sydney https://dataengbytes.com/tickets

Sad news from the sydney data engineering community. Peter Flook, founder of data catering and a genuinely wonderful practitioner, passed away suddenly on the weekend after collapsing during a soccer match.
We're excited to welcome VeloDB as a sponsor of DataEngBytes 2026 Sydney. If you've worked with Apache Doris, VeloDB is the company built around it — founded by the original creators of the project, with over 70% of their team dedicated to R&D. Their pitch is architectural consolidation: a single real-time analytics and search database that handles workloads you'd typically run across multiple specialised systems — columnar analytics, log search, lakehouse queries, and vector retrieval for AI applications. The Apache Doris 4.0 release is worth a look if you haven't already. ByteDance used it to reduce memory for billion-scale vector search from 10TB to 500GB, while improving search relevance from 58% to 94%. The VeloDB team will be at DataEngBytes Sydney (Jul 28–29) — come talk to the engineers who built it.

Less than a burger flipper earns. He's been in the weeds on this for over a year — Ralph/Claude loops, VC conversations, model-first companies — and he's bringing all of it to Auckland. If you're a data engineer wondering what AI actually means for your career, this is the talk. 🎟️ Tickets from $175 NZD
Our call for papers deadline is nearly upon us... don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to share your knowledge and grow your career! https://dataengbytes.com/forms/conference-talk
🚨 Keynote announced: Marta Paes at DataEngBytes 2026! "From Transactions to Analytics: Where Do We Go From Here?" A decade after Debezium commoditised CDC, are we actually any closer to bridging OLTP and OLAP? Marta's seen hundreds of customers run this at scale — she knows the honest answer. Bonus: she spoke at our very first conference in 2020. Full circle. 🎉 Brisbane → Mar 20 Auckland → Mar 24 Melbourne → Jul 23–24 Sydney → Jul 28–29 dataengbytes.com/2026/speakers/marta-paes
Hot take: the best conference moment isn't a keynote. It's a room full of practitioners being honest about what's actually happening in the industry. We're bringing Town Halls to DataEngBytes 2026 — and we need your help to shape them. Survey dropping soon. What's on your mind? 👇

We have received a formal complaint from the Grinch. 😠 Apparently, there is "too much cheering" and "too much saving" going on in the Data Engineering community right now. He is demanding that you STOP buying these bargain tickets immediately. He finds the following prices personally offensive: 🤢 Brisbane & Auckland: $99 🤢 Sydney & Melbourne: $299
Looking to elevate your brand visibility in the ANZ Data Engineering community to kick off 2026? 🚀 We have opened a limited-time sponsorship offer specifically for our Auckland and Brisbane chapters.
If your new years resolution is to become a conference speaker (or to speak at more conferences), this is your sign.

Kickstart your year by securing your spot or submitting that talk idea you’ve been sitting on.
