HCMC dbt Meetup 10

HCMC dbt Meetup is back for its tenth edition, with two talks covering opposite ends of the data spectrum: the decisions your analysis is meant to support, and the stack you need to run the analysis in the first place.
🗓️ Saturday, 31 October, 9:30 am to 12:00 pm
📍 Inspire Hub 1, 03 Nguyễn Cơ Thạch, phường An Khánh, Hồ Chí Minh

LINE UP
1️⃣ FROM DATA TO DECISIONS, FROM DECISIONS TO VALUE
Nam Nguyen, Data and AI Advisor at TheDecisionQ

Most analytics work starts in the wrong place, with a request coming in, a model getting built. Somewhere along the way, the connection to an actual decision gets lost.

Nam's talk introduces Decision Data Science and the Decision Quality framework, a structured approach that starts from a clear problem frame, meaningful alternatives, and reliable information. The result is analysis that fits directly into the decision engine rather than sitting beside it.

2️⃣ THE $0 DATA STACK: DUCKDB + dbt + METABASE
Minh Nguyen, Analytics Engineer at Joon Solutions

Can a small business get a real analytics stack without paying for the cloud? Let’s try to build one live.
Starting from raw ecommerce CSVs,

Minh will walk through building a shared dashboard using DuckDB, dbt, and Metabase, all free and running on a single laptop. Along the way, he will address the most important questions: is it secure, can a single person maintain it, and when is it time to graduate to a cloud warehouse?

THIS EVENT IS PERFECT FOR:

Data practitioners of any level looking to learn from peers in a casual setting
Students and early-career folks curious about real-world data work
Business owners and startup teams wanting to get started with analytics on a budget
