Session: Building an open source control plane for data

Shirshanka Das, Co-Founder & CTO @ Acryl

Today's data landscape, spanning operational, streaming, lakehouse, and warehouse systems, grapples with the complexities of decentralization. Do you seek new approaches, tools, and solutions to address challenges in data discovery, management, governance, quality, and observability?

How about a visibility layer, or control plane, for the data distributed across your stack?
In this session, Shirshanka Das, founder of the open source DataHub Project, will describe how a control plane for data, powered by metadata, can simplify data discovery, foster team collaboration, and offer real-time observability into data assets.
This talk will cover:
  • The control plane for data and its role in the decentralized data stack
  • Using the open-source DataHub Project to implement the control plane for data
  • How data contracts help you define and enforce decentralized governance
  • How this helps reduce operational overhead and keep cloud costs down
  • Why the industry is gravitating towards these ideas—and why the DataHub Project is key
Where & when?

Open Source Data Summit 2025 will be held on October 8th, 2025.

What is the cost of access to the live virtual sessions?

OSDS is always free and open for all to attend.

What is Open Source Data Summit?

OSDS is a peer-to-peer gathering of data industry professionals, experts, and enthusiasts to explore the dynamic landscape of open source data tools and storage.

The central theme of OSDS revolves around the advantages of open source data products and their pivotal role in modern data ecosystems.

OSDS is the annual peer hub for knowledge exchange that fosters a deeper understanding of open source options and their role in shaping the data-driven future.

Who attends OSDS?

OSDS is attended by data engineers, data architects, developers, DevOps practitioners and managers, and data leadership.

Anyone who is looking for enriched perspectives on open source data tools and practical insights to navigate the evolving data landscape should attend this event.

On October 2nd, 2024 we convened for discussions about:
  • Benefits of open source data tools
  • Cost/performance trade-offs
  • Building data storage solutions
  • Challenges surrounding open source data tool integration
  • Solutions for the cost of storing, accessing, and managing data
  • Data streams and ingestion
  • Hub-and-spoke data integration models
  • Choosing the right engine for your workload
