CDAOs and AI leaders are grappling with two crucial questions: 1. What public cloud provider should we choose for AI and GenAI initiatives, and 2. how do we assemble the right cloud architecture to scale and deploy AI more effectively?
This session compares public cloud AI and Generative AI architectures from AWS, Azure and GCP and provides insights on their points of differentiation.

Summary In this episode of the Data Engineering Podcast Mai-Lan Tomsen Bukovec, Vice President of Technology at AWS, talks about the evolution of Amazon S3 and its profound impact on data architecture. From her work on compute systems to leading the development and operations of S3, Mylan shares insights on how S3 has become a foundational element in modern data systems, enabling scalable and cost-effective data lakes since its launch alongside Hadoop in 2006. She discusses the architectural patterns enabled by S3, the importance of metadata in data management, and how S3's evolution has been driven by customer needs, leading to innovations like strong consistency and S3 tables.

What are the other elements of the data ecosystem that helped shape the product direction of S3?Data storage and retrieval have been core primitives in computing since its inception. What are the characteristics of S3 and all of its copycats that led to such a difference in architectural patterns vs. other shared data technologies? (e.g. NFS, Gluster, Ceph, Samba, etc.)How does the unified pool of storage that is exemplified by S3 help to blur the boundaries between application data, analytical data, and ML/AI data?What are some of the default patterns for storage and retrieval across those three buckets that can lead to anti-patterns which add friction when trying to unify those use cases?The age of AI is leading to a massive potential for unlocking unstructured data, for which S3 has been a massive dumping ground over the years. How is that changing the ways that your customers think about the value of the assets that they have been hoarding for so long?What new architectural patterns is that generating?What are the most interesting, innovative, or unexpected ways that you have seen S3 used for analytical/ML/Ai applications?What are the most interesting, unexpected, or challenging lessons that you have learned while working on S3?When is S3 the wrong choice?What do you have planned for the future of S3?Contact Info LinkedInParting Question From your perspective, what is the biggest gap in the tooling or technology for data management today?Closing Announcements Thank you for listening!

CEO Keynote Feat. the CIO of Workato | The Data Apps Conference

The enterprise software landscape is at a pivotal turning point. For decades, organizations have been trapped in a cycle of siloed applications—first in on-premise data centers, and then repackaged as cloud SaaS solutions. While infrastructure has become more flexible, scalable, and cost-effective, the applications running on top remain frustratingly rigid, expensive, and disconnected.

In this session, Mike Palmer (CEO of Sigma) and Carter Busse (CIO of Workato) discuss the shift from "best-of-breed" point solutions to an "end-to-end" approach powered by data apps. They'll explore:

Why traditional SaaS applications force organizations to adapt their workflows to software limitations rather than the other way around How the centralization of data in cloud warehouses creates the foundation for building custom, integrated workflows Real-world examples of organizations replacing expensive, disconnected tools with purpose-built data apps The future of enterprise software, including predictions on how AI will reshape application development and data accessibility Practical strategies for starting your data apps journey without creating new technology sprawl Learn how forward-thinking organizations are using data apps to create workflows that better match their business needs, increase decision-making velocity, boost accuracy, and dramatically reduce software costs—all while maintaining enterprise-grade governance and security.

Smarter Demand Planning: How to Build a No-Code Forecasting App | The Data Apps Conference

Sales forecasting and demand planning are critical business processes, but most organizations still rely on spreadsheets—leading to version control issues, fragmented approvals, and lack of historical tracking. Traditional BI tools struggle to solve these problems because they don’t allow for cell-level edits, inline comments, and structured approval workflows in a governed way.

In this session, Ian Reed will demonstrate how to:

Enable real-time forecasting by replacing manual spreadsheets with a structured, cloud-based data app Allow for cell-level edits and inline commentary so teams can capture assumptions behind forecast changes Implement an automated approval workflow with proper governance Integrate seamlessly with live data sources for continuous updates and visibility into actual vs. forecasted performance Track historical changes and maintain audit trails of all modifications

With Sigma, demand planning is no longer a fragmented, error-prone process—it’s a seamless, governed workflow that scales with business growth. Join this session for a demo and a step-by-step walkthrough of how this app was built, proving that anyone can create a highly customizable, enterprise-grade demand planning system in Sigma without deep technical expertise.
