BUILDING DATA PLATFORMS

​Every data platform conversation splits down the middle. One side argues about the stack: which engine, which table format, how to handle state and replay. The other side argues about the operating model: ownership, contracts, treating data as a product. The data platforms that actually hold up get both right.

​Two talks this evening. One takes you into the engine room, the other zooms out to where the field is heading and what it means for Swedish enterprises.

​Robert Sahlin (Supercargo) on where data platforms are heading and how the strongest ones get built. Data contracts, ownership, data products, the data flywheel, and what it all means for Swedish enterprises.

Joel Falk (Irori) on building a working data platform for event-driven architecture with Kafka, Flink, and Iceberg. He takes the architecture end to end: where each layer fits, the trade-offs, best practices, and the pitfalls worth avoiding.
