We’re excited to announce the “Building Context, Not Vibes – Practical AI Augmented Data Engineering” full-day training for June 1 at Data Platform Next Step 2026.
Scott and Mihály will take you beyond AI hype and into real engineering.
This workshop is about turning AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot or Claude into structured, production-ready workflow multipliers, not vibe-based guesswork.
Together, we’ll build a complete data platform live:
Source → Medallion architecture → Silver/Gold → Published Power BI dashboard
All powered through systematic Context Engineering and agentic workflows.
You’ll learn:
- How to architect AI environments for reproducible results
- How to configure personas, skills, and MCP-based toolchains
- How to deliver ingestion → transformation → reporting using AI-augmented workflows
- What’s real vs. hype in the “agentic” landscape
This training replaces the previously announced Real-Time Intelligence workshop. We want to thank Sander for his effort and support, and we look forward to exploring RTI again in the future.
