DevBP #14: What Lies Beneath

Building on the success of the previous events, the DevBP series is back for the 14th time with two great talks. AI doesn’t fix weak foundations, it exposes them. Messy data, unclear definitions, and buried business logic quickly become blockers. This time, we’ll explore the foundations we need to strengthen to build truly AI-ready systems.

This English-language event will be held at the Colossyan Budapest office, where we'll provide snacks and drinks to fuel conversations.
Arrival is from 17:30, Announcements and agenda at 17:55, first presentations will start at 18:00.

AI Exposed Our Data Gaps — Lessons from a CDP Migration on Building a Governed, AI-Ready Platform
with Szabolcs Magyar - Colossyan
During our CDP migration, we realized that AI doesn’t fix data problems - it exposes them. Unclear definitions, weak ownership, and undocumented assumptions quickly become blockers when AI systems start querying your analytics layer. In this talk, I’ll share how we used dbt and stronger data governance to turn our analytics stack into a more reliable, AI-ready platform. I’ll walk through the key architectural decisions, trade-offs, and lessons learned while modernising a production system.

Digital Archaeology: Recovering Lost Business Logic in Legacy Systems
with András Lendvay - Inivate
Effective AI integration and organizational performance both fail without structured institutional knowledge. In modern organizations, this knowledge is often buried within undocumented legacy code as “hidden” logic and critical business rules. This session explores the methodology of digital archaeology: reverse-engineering systems to extract the “why” behind the “how,” ensuring that both human teams and AI agents have the foundational data governance and definitions required to function.
