Original artwork provides the date, time, and speaker record.

Published agenda

## Diagnosis came before tuning and Delta Lake guidance

The session focused on Spark and Databricks performance practices available in 2020.

11:00

### Welcome

Rodney Joyce opened the online meetup.

11:05

### Performance session

Gin Jia covered diagnosing Spark cluster issues, scale-up and scale-out choices, and job-cost tradeoffs.

11:45

### Questions

The listing closed with audience Q&A and a promised voucher for the selected question.

Historical performance boundary

## The advertised benchmark is not a current promise

The 2020 copy promoted a Spark 3.0 demonstration framed around 10x–100x query performance. This archive records that event claim without applying it to another workload, configuration, or current Databricks release.

Gin Jia

Databricks Solutions Architect, as published on the original event artwork and agenda.
