This instructor-led, live training in Helsinki (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level data scientists and engineers who wish to use Google Colab and Apache Spark for big data processing and analytics.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Set up a big data environment using Google Colab and Spark.
• Process and analyze large datasets efficiently with Apache Spark.
• Visualize big data in a collaborative environment.
• Integrate Apache Spark with cloud-based tools.

This instructor-led, live training in Helsinki (online or onsite) is aimed at developers who wish to use and integrate Spark, Hadoop, and Python to process, analyze, and transform large and complex data sets.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Set up the necessary environment to start processing big data with Spark, Hadoop, and Python.
• Understand the features, core components, and architecture of Spark and Hadoop.
• Learn how to integrate Spark, Hadoop, and Python for big data processing.
• Explore the tools in the Spark ecosystem (Spark MlLib, Spark Streaming, Kafka, Sqoop, Kafka, and Flume).
• Build collaborative filtering recommendation systems similar to Netflix, YouTube, Amazon, Spotify, and Google.
• Use Apache Mahout to scale machine learning algorithms.

This instructor-led, live training in Helsinki (online or onsite) is aimed at beginner-level to intermediate-level system administrators who wish to deploy, maintain, and optimize Spark clusters.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Apache Spark in various environments.
• Manage cluster resources and monitor Spark applications.
• Optimize the performance of Spark clusters.
• Implement security measures and ensure high availability.
• Debug and troubleshoot common Spark issues.

In this instructor-led, live training in Helsinki, participants will learn how to use Python and Spark together to analyze big data as they work on hands-on exercises.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Learn how to use Spark with Python to analyze Big Data.
• Work on exercises that mimic real world cases.
• Use different tools and techniques for big data analysis using PySpark.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at data engineers, data analysts, and data professionals who wish to use Databricks and PySpark to build scalable data pipelines and migrate existing SQL workflows.

This training provides a practical introduction to building scalable data processing and Machine Learning workflows using PySpark. Participants learn how Apache Spark operates within modern Big Data ecosystems and how to efficiently process large datasets using distributed computing principles.

This three-day practical course focuses on building and optimising efficient data-processing workloads using PySpark, Pandas and Polars in Kubernetes-based environments.

Participants will develop a practical understanding of how Spark applications execute on Kubernetes and how application-level configuration decisions influence performance, scalability, resource consumption and cost. The course covers key optimisation areas including executor sizing, memory allocation, dynamic allocation, partitioning strategies, shuffle behaviour, small-file problems and efficient Parquet processing.

The course also addresses common challenges when working with Pandas, including memory limitations and out-of-memory failures, and introduces Polars as a high-performance alternative for selected data-processing workloads. Through hands-on exercises, participants will diagnose performance and memory issues, compare different configuration strategies and apply optimisation techniques to realistic ETL and machine learning scenarios.

The emphasis throughout the course is on practical decision-making: understanding how to identify bottlenecks, select the appropriate tool, configure Spark efficiently and balance performance with infrastructure resource consumption and cost.

This instructor-led, live training in Helsinki (online or onsite) is aimed at engineers who wish to set up and deploy Apache Spark system for processing very large amounts of data.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Apache Spark.
• Quickly process and analyze very large data sets.
• Understand the difference between Apache Spark and Hadoop MapReduce and when to use which.
• Integrate Apache Spark with other machine learning tools.
