Rodrigo Loredo & Oscar Ligthart: Mastering Data Success at PyData Amsterdam 2025 📊

www.pydata.org At Vinted, Europe’s largest second-hand marketplace, over 20 decentralized data teams generate, transform, and build products on petabytes of data. Each team utilizes their own tools, workflows, and expertise. Coordinating data pipeline creation across such diverse teams presents significant challenges. These include complex inter-team dependencies, inconsistent scheduling solutions, and rapidly evolving requirements. This talk is aimed at data engineers, platform engineers, and technical leads with experience in workflow orchestration and will demonstrate how we empower teams at Vinted to define data pipelines quickly and reliably. We will present our user-friendly abstraction layer built on top of Apache Airflow, enhanced by a Python code generator. This abstraction simplifies upgrades and migrations, removes scheduler complexity, and supports Vinted’s rapid growth. Attendees will learn how Python abstractions and code generation can standardize pipeline development across diverse teams, reduce operational complexity, and enable greater flexibility and control in large-scale data organizations. Through practical lessons and real-world examples of our abstraction interface, we will offer insights into designing scheduler-agnostic architectures for successful data pipeline orchestration. PyData is an educational program of NumFOCUS, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in the United States. PyData provides a forum for the international community of users and developers of data analysis tools to share ideas and learn from each other. The global PyData network promotes discussion of best practices, new approaches, and emerging technologies for data management, processing, analytics, and visualization. PyData communities approach data science using many languages, including (but not limited to) Python, Julia, and R. PyData conferences aim to be accessible and community-driven, with novice to advanced level presentations. PyData tutorials and talks bring attendees the latest project features along with cutting-edge use cases. 00:00 Welcome! 00:10 Help us add time stamps or captions to this video!
