Imagine building enterprise data infrastructure where you write 90% less code but deliver twice the value. This is the promise of declarative data stacks. The open and modern data stack freed us from vendor lock-in, allowing teams to select best-of-breed tools for ingestion, ETL, and orchestration. But this freedom comes at a cost: fragmented governance, security gaps, and potential technical debt when stacking disconnected tools across your organization.

I broke one of our most critical SLAs just last week, and it was the best thing that could have happened. It was shaping up to be a major embarrassment. One of our key data warehouse refreshes had failed. No new data. No dashboard updates. The refresh was long past its deadline, the projects key data engineer was on vacation, and I was playing backup.

There’s a lot of noise surrounding the ability of AI agents to connect to your tools, systems and data. But building an AI application into a reliable, secure workflow agent isn’t as simple as plugging in an API. As an engineering leader, it can be challenging to make sense of this evolving landscape, but agent tooling provides such high value that it’s critical we figure out how to move forward.
