Tech Talk: Stop Paying for Analytics. Just Use Postgres. Enterprise Scale with AI-Driven Insights
Speaker: Marko Bocevski (Aiven)
Abstract:The database wars of the 2010s are over. HTAP? Dead. NewSQL? Dead. Streaming databases? Dead. The Cloud Data Warehouse won—but here's the twist: the innovations that made it win (separation of storage and compute, vectorized execution, columnar formats) are now everywhere.

The modern data stack is collapsing into something surprisingly simple: OLTP + Lakehouse. And at the center of it? It’s just Postgres.
In this session, We’ll explore how a massive enterprise manages complex transactional and analytical data without the "tax" of legacy warehouses.
We will demonstrate how to close the loop between transactions and intelligence:

• The Bridge: Writing from Postgres directly to Iceberg tables with zero ETL.
• The Brain: Using Large Language Models (LLMs) to query your lakehouse in natural language, gaining instant insights into complex datasets.
• The Result: A simplified architecture that replaces the "duct tape" of Debezium, Kafka, and reverse-ETL.

What you will learn:
You’ll walk away with:

• Enterprise Insights: How Conrad Electronic navigates data at scale using open-source patterns.
• The AI Layer: Practical workflows for using LLMs to gain insights into your transactional and analytical data.
• The Blueprint: A clear architecture for Postgres + Iceberg + AI integration.
• A live demo!
