About this session
Benjamin Wagner is CEO of Firebolt and a C++ database internals engineer by background. Firebolt is an analytical database built for the workloads that matter next: real-time serving, data lake queries, and AI-powered analytics at scale. Benjamin's core argument is that AI is collapsing the application layer as a moat, and that the companies who win will be the ones whose data infrastructure can serve agents directly.
