Going to #awsreinvent next week? We are, too! Stop by our booth (#1952) for all sorts of goodies, including our extra large canvas tote bag for carrying all your re:Invent swag! Plus you can chat with our staff about our lastest advances in schema-driven development.

Building APIs is straight-forward -- that is, until you need to ensure they're safe to evolve, consistent across teams, and work seamlessly across multiple languages. Join us tomorrow (Nov 19) for a free 1-hour interactive workshop on getting started with Protobuf APIs. Our engineers will demonstrate how Protobuf makes API development safer and simpler—and show you applications beyond traditional network APIs. What you'll learn: - How Protobuf simplifies safe API evolution - Battle-tested API design patterns for real-world systems - Using Protobuf for event streaming, data pipelines, and more - Q&A with our engineering team throughout the session This workshop will show you practical approaches to building APIs with consistent types and data quality guarantees across multiple languages.

If you’re at #Current25 this week, stop by the Buf booth for… - The solution to streaming data’s data problem - Cool tarot card stickers - Free O’Reilly book Data Engineering Design Patterns - Trick or treat goodies - Chance to win Halloween Lego sets

Join Buf engineer Miguel Young de la Sota for a great session tomorrow at @P99CONF. He'll give you the full scoop on hyperpb: a fully-dynamic Protobuf parser that's 10x faster than dynamicpb, the standard Go solution for dynamic Protobuf. Thursday 10/23 @ 10:25am PT Register here: https://www.p99conf.io/

For streaming data, the gap between "hello world" tutorials and bulletproof production systems is filled with hard-learned lessons. Join us tomorrow (Wednesday) October 22 at 9am PT, when Buf's Scott Haines and author Bartosz Konieczny are presenting a Linux Foundation webinar on streaming data design patterns proven to work in production. Attendees will receive a complimentary copy of Bartosz's new O'Reilly Media book "Data Engineering Design Patterns." https://lnkd.in/gKdCSBfb

📅Today, Scott Haines from the Buf Devrel team and Youssef Mrini are going to explore the wonderful world of #DeltaLake 4.0. Tune into their webinar “Delta Lake is growing up” at 12pm ET / 9am PT ⏰ Scott and Youssef will show off #DeltaConnect, which enables you to read/write your Delta Lake tables remotely from any #gRPC compatible client. They’ll also dive into #spark-connect. spark-connect uses Buf behind the scenes to ensure that the Protobuf messages powering spark-connect just work, making sure no one ends up with a broken client between releases! Interested? Sign up for a reminder to join Scott and Youssef later today ✍️: https://lnkd.in/gDX2xiyR

Exciting news for the Protobuf community! 🚀 After two years of development, Protovalidate has officially reached v1.0. The semantic validation library for Protobuf, it’s already trusted by major companies including Microsoft, F5, GitLab, CoreWeave, and Nike. Key benefits: - Define validation rules once, directly on your schemas - Automatic enforcement across all services - Available in Go, Java, Python, C++, and TypeScript - Built on CEL for consistent validation everywhere Bad data is expensive – Protovalidate catches quality issues at the source before they propagate through your systems. Read all about it in on our blog: https://lnkd.in/gv2QpHPd #Protobuf #DataValidation #SoftwareDevelopment #API
