As a developer advocate, it is my responsibility to ensure that understanding how to use lakeFS is simple for users. To this end I’m excited to announce the initial release of the lakeFS Tutorial Series on Youtube!
For the initial drop there are three videos that cover how to:
- Install lakeFS locally
- Create a Repository (and add data to it)
- Install and use the lakectl command line tool
I hope users of lakeFS find this tutorial series helpful and a useful compliment to awesome blog content we already produce. Note that this is just the beginning of an intentional investment in producing video content about lakeFS and data engineering generally.
So stay tuned for more coming soon!
Video #1: Install lakeFS Locally
Video #2: Create a Repository
Video #3: Install the lakeFS CLI
If you find these videos useful, please consider subscribing to the channel. Thank you!
