There’s a foundational shift underway in the data infrastructure behind AI-native applications. In this fireside chat, we break down the technical requirements that make today’s data infrastructure dramatically different from what it used to be and what builders need to understand to keep up.

In this talk, top founders defining the industry, Rebecka Storm, Co-Founder and CPO of Twirl (Acquired by Modal) and Heikki Linnakangas, Co-Founder of Neon (Acquired by Databricks) will dive deep into theme of AI data infrastructure and open source, moderated by Oded Valin (Aiven).
