The Great Data Engineering Reset: From Pipelines to Agents and Beyond

For years, data engineering was a story of predictable pipelines: move data from point A to point B. But AI just hit the reset button on our entire field. Now, we're all staring into the void, wondering what's next.

While the fundamentals remain unchanged, data continues to pose challenges in traditional areas such as security, data governance, management, and modeling. Everything else is up for grabs.

This talk will cut through the noise and explore the future of data engineering in an AI-driven world. We'll discuss how our focus must shift from building dashboards and analytics to architecting for automated action. The reset button has been pushed. It's time for us to invent the future of our industry.
