Intelligent Conversational Framework for Real-Time Data Pipeline Diagnostics and Operations in Cloud-Native Environments
in-person- Introduce AI Agents and Orchestration • Explain the role of LLM-based agents in data engineering workflows. • Show how tools like LangChain and LangGraph enable modular reasoning and API integration.
- Define a Real-Time Metric Retrieval Pipeline • Outline how to collect diagnostic metrics from a Spark-based environment (e.g., Databricks) using APIs and telemetry.
- Demonstrate an LLM-Powered Assistant for Data Operations • Present “Data Buddy,” an agent that interprets technical issues, retrieves data, and responds in natural language. • Highlight its ability to explain diagnostics, suggest actions, and support both technical and non-technical users.
