I wanted to let folks know there is a meetup in the Bay Area (San Francisco) that StarTree is sponsoring: https://www.meetup.com/data-engineer-things-bay-area-meetup/ If anyone wants to offer to talk at a future meetup, whether about Apache Pinot, or any other relevant data engineering topic, I would gladly get you in touch with the organizer Lisa. The event was well-prepared and decently attended last night, even with the rain. The two talks — one on LLMs/RAG, and the other from Netflix on their open source Mantis stream processing — were both engaging and well-done.
