Lauri Huhta: Your API is someone else's pipeline

Product and data teams need each other, but too often they don't work together. I'll share some war stories about bad API design hurting the whole organization's data flow.

Mikko Harju: Your Data, Your Agents: Building an AI-Ready Lakehouse with DuckDB and Python

This talk presents a practical approach to building a lightweight lakehouse using DuckDB and Python demonstrated through a real-world project that ingests operational data from different SaaS tools into a unified analytical layer.

We cover metadata-driven ETL pipelines, incremental ingestion patterns, and how a well-structured local lakehouse becomes the foundation for AI agents that can reason over your data with full context. All without the overhead of more traditional data warehousing infrastructure.
