How to build a unified data stack for real-time AI.

AI applications are driving explosive data growth and collapsing the line between transactional and analytical workloads. Meeting that demand requires best-of-breed databases working together in real time, not a fragmented stack stitched together after the fact.

Overview

Open Source earned its place. AI is rewriting the rules.

Open source databases like Postgres have earned their place as the default database for modern applications, but AI is rewriting the rules. The organisations getting this right are focused on real-time analytics at scale, which enables the speed required to feed the "agentic beasts." The challenge, however, is how you get the most out of your open source architecture, and what changes practitioners need to make to get real-time analytics at scale. Join us for an intimate executive breakfast covering what a real-time, AI-ready data stack looks like in practice.

Talking points

What we'll be working through.

This session has been crafted to showcase the changes IT environments need to undertake in order to take real advantage of AI.

01
When AI workloads break Open Source. Why AI workloads break traditional open source databases like Postgres at scale, and how you can approach the fix.
02
Streamlining data engineering. How to eliminate the cost of ETL, and close the freshness gap without the cost, fragility, and lag of batch pipelines.
03
A look at agentic analytics. Natural language interfaces and what they demand of your data platform: latency, concurrency, and the feedback loops agents need to reason over live data.
04
How to go from pilot to production. Moving from vibe-coded pilots to production-grade AI systems: what changes in the data architecture when an AI initiative has to hold up in front of customers.
