Data’s messy, and we don’t sugarcoat it. We dig into real-world stories—FinOps, data platforms, streaming, governance—with people who’ve been there, screwed up, figured it out, and can still laugh about it. No buzzwords, no corporate cheerleading—just curious questions, practical insights, and the occasional bad joke.

Martin Fiser, Field CTO at Keboola with 8 years at Google, joined Yuliia and Scott to challenge modern data stack complexity and costs. He advocates for all-in-one platforms over fragmented solutions, highlighting how companies waste up to 40% of time on tool integration. Martin shared insights on US-European cultural differences in data approaches and warned against "development by resume" culture where engineers prioritize trendy tools over business outcomes.
