Data Contracts Panel

Who owns the schema? Four practitioners from analytics, platform and application teams spend an hour on the question that comes up in every incident review and never gets settled.

Ruth Achterberg hosts. The panel covers versioning, breaking changes, contract tests in CI and what happens to all of it when AI features start reading the same tables. Expect specific stories rather than frameworks, and at least one disagreement that does not get resolved politely.

Questions come through the event app, with the top-voted ones going straight to the stage. The panel is streamed for remote attendees and recorded for the agenda. It is the last panel of the summit and leads straight into the closing keynote at 16:45.
