Four Ways to Start, Tailored to Your Environment
Private workshops are working sessions with Bassirah architects and engineers. We agree the agenda, participants, format and duration with you in advance. Sessions can run remotely or on site.
Discovery Workshop
Best for: Teams starting a data, analytics or AI platform initiative, or reassessing one.
What we cover: Business objectives, current stack, data volumes, performance expectations, security and compliance constraints, support needs and success metrics.
Who should attend: Business sponsor, data/platform architect, security representative, operations lead.
You leave with: A shared problem statement, prioritized use cases, known constraints, candidate routes (partner-led, open-source or combined) and a recommended next step.
Architecture Review
Best for: Existing or planned platforms that need an independent design check before scaling, migrating or going to production.
What we cover: Current or target architecture, component responsibilities, security and trust boundaries, HA/DR design, operations and upgrade practice, cost drivers.
Who should attend: Lead architect, platform/SRE lead, security architect, data engineering lead.
You leave with: An architecture review summary, a risk register and technical recommendations.
Proof-of-Concept Scoping
Best for: Teams that have shortlisted a route and need evidence before committing.
What we cover: The hypothesis to prove, representative workloads and data, success criteria and how to measure them, environment and access, timeline, roles and exit criteria.
Who should attend: Technical owner, data engineers, security/infra contact, business owner for acceptance.
You leave with: A written PoC scope with measurable acceptance criteria, environment prerequisites and a plan.
Enablement Session
Best for: Teams adopting or taking over a platform who need practical, role-based knowledge.
What we cover: Options include developer bootcamps, DBA/SRE handover, architecture training, platform operations drills and migration/playbook workshops.
Who should attend: Developers, analytics engineers, DBAs, SREs and architects, grouped by role.
You leave with: Session materials and labs, runbooks where agreed, and evaluation and attendance records.
Workshop scope, duration and any fees are confirmed in writing before the session.

Workshop Questions
What is the typical first engagement?
A discovery or architecture assessment usually defines business objectives, current stack, volumes, performance, security, support needs, constraints and success metrics. Bassirah can then propose an implementation plan or focused proof of concept.
How long does a private workshop take?
It depends on the format and scope. We agree the duration, agenda and participants with you during a short scoping call before the session.
Can a workshop cover both a partner product and an open-source option?
Yes. Many workshops compare a partner-led route with an independent open-source route, for example Starburst Enterprise and Trino OSS, so you can decide based on your security, connector, operations and commercial requirements.
Do you run workshops remotely or on site?
Both are possible. We confirm the format and location during scoping.
What should we not share before the workshop?
Please do not send credentials, detailed diagrams, sample data or personal data through the website form. We agree a secure channel for sensitive material after scoping.
