Top Things You'll Learn in Each Lab

Wednesday's Session

12-2PM

Ask Your Cluster: Admin on VAST with MCP

Thursday's Session

2-4PM

Follow the Tape: Market Data to SQL on VAST

Learn how to replay a market-data capture into a Kafka topic on VAST and watch every message land as a row in VAST DataBase instantly. Use SQL to explore the trading day and surface three planted incidents. You will also see how a running feed adapts to schema drift with blob expansion.
