Instructor track
Timing, talk tracks, common failures, and reset steps for facilitators.
This track is the facilitator's companion to the Learner track. Every learner module has a matching notes page here with its own Timing, Talk track, Common failures, and Reset steps sections. Read this landing page first for the room-level picture, then open each module's notes as you reach it.
Run of show
| # | Learner lesson | Budget | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 00 | Setup | ~30 min | Pre-work — ideally done before the session, not the morning of |
| 01 | Source environment | ~45 min | Starts the trip producer, which must keep running through module 05 |
| 02 | Plan and design | ~90 min | Worksheet-driven; almost none of it is unattended, so do not plan a break inside it |
| 03 | Provision and migrate | ~60 min | Of which 40–50 min is an unattended data transfer — the key scheduling fact for this module |
| 04 | Rebuild the dbt pipeline | ~30 min | The only real dead air is the second dbt run, roughly 8–12 min |
| 05 | Benchmark and cutover | ~45 min | The cutover step measures the gap the producer's continuous run created; both clouds are torn down at the end |
| 06 | Evaluation | ~60 min | Self-administered and open-book; facilitators are typically not present for the writing itself |
These budgets total about 6 hours. Confirm each against a timed dry run before committing to a published agenda.
Shared-resource checklist
Confirm each of these before the session starts:
- Two cloud accounts, and who pays — a Snowflake trial account and a ClickHouse Cloud trial account, one pair per partner. Confirm ahead of time whose card (if any) is on file for each, and that both trials have the credits the run of show above assumes.
- Module 00 is pre-work. It is ideally completed before the session, not the morning of — a partner who arrives having skipped it costs roughly 30 minutes of live session time to recover, at the expense of module 01's slot.
- Module 01's producer must stay running through module 05. It writes live trip rows into Snowflake starting in module 01, and module 05's cutover step measures the exact gap between stopping writes to Snowflake and resuming them on ClickHouse. If it stops early, there is nothing left for that step to measure.
- Module 03 has a 40–50 minute unattended data transfer. Build the agenda's one
real break, or a live Q&A on partners'
migration-plan.mddecisions, around this window rather than anywhere else in the module. - The assessment answer key is not on this site. It lives outside this repository, is gitignored, and is distributed to facilitators by the ClickHouse Solutions Architect out of band. Do not reproduce any answer here — this site is public.
