Zhangjian He
Chinese Session 2026-08-07 16:15 GMT+8 (ROOM : JingMing Hall) #dataaiModern organizations are increasingly seeking a unified platform that combines data integration, governance, lineage, and operational applications—similar to what platforms like Palantir Foundry provide. However, building such a system from scratch often appears prohibitively complex.
This session presents a pragmatic, engineering-driven approach to constructing a “Foundry-like” platform using the Apache ecosystem.
