Discover the importance of optimization when operationalizing a data lakehouse for production workloads. We break down the journey of bringing a lakehouse into production—from choosing your data file format (Parquet) and table format (Iceberg) to plugging in your catalog and compute engines. Finally, learn why balancing ingestion jobs with critical table management services makes all the difference when moving beyond single-node workloads.

Data trust is broken. In the "good old days," one expert vetted one dashboard. Today? You have massive scale and AI models that need accurate data to survive. Jessica Talisman joins Cindi Howson on The Data & AI Chief to reveal why the ontology pipeline is the secret sauce for trustworthy AI. Learn how structural clarity turns data chaos into your biggest competitive advantage. Catch the full discussion on your preferred podcast player!

Most organizations are investing heavily in AI—but the outputs still aren’t reliable. The reason often isn’t the model. It’s the data pipeline behind it. Disconnected systems, inconsistent preparation, and limited governance make it difficult for AI to produce accurate answers. Before AI can deliver real value, the data feeding it must be structured, contextualized, and governed. In this animation, we break down the 5 Pillars of AI-Ready Data and show how data moves through a connected pipeline before it reaches AI.

Multi-agent systems aren't new architecture—they're microservices evolved. Varun Jasti of AWS explains why Apache Kafka is the natural backbone for agent-to-agent communication at scale.

In this video, Dipankar breaks down how Apache Iceberg works under the hood - starting from the limitations of Hive-style tables to why Iceberg was built in the first place. What you’ll learn: The shift from directory-based to metadata-driven architecture. How Iceberg tracks files on S3/Object Storage. Why abstraction is the key to scaling your data platform.
