# Building a Serverless Data Lake for Business Intelligence


- **Date:** Friday, Jul 19, 2024
- **Time:** 11:00–11:30 (30 min)
- **Room:** STAGE 10 (120)
- **Event:** World Congress 2024

## Description

Have you ever wondered what a “data lake” is? In this talk, we discuss architectural patterns, technical building blocks, and how to derive insights from data using Business Intelligence. After this talk, you will understand what “big data”, analytics and Business Intelligence are about and how you can put them to work for yourself and your team. Ultimately, you can help you organisation to become data-driven.

No knowledge of data engineering is required to attend this talk, but a tech background is recommended. Tech samples will be shown on AWS, but the concepts are transferable to other solutions.
