    Agentic coding in analytics engineering (w/ Mikkel Dengsøe)

    Tristan talks with Mikkel Dengsøe, co-founder at SYNQ, to break down what agentic coding looks like in analytics engineering. Mikkel walks through a hands-on project using Cursor, the dbt MCP server, Omni’s AI assistant, and Snowflake. They cover where agents shine (staging, unit tests, lineage-aware checks), where they’re risky (BI chat for non-experts), and how observability is shifting from dashboards to root-cause explanations.

    The pragmatic guide to AI agents in the enterprise (w/ Sean Falconer)

    What does it mean to be agentic? Is there a spectrum of agency?  In this episode of The Analytics Engineering Podcast, Tristan Handy talks to Sean Falconer, senior director of AI strategy at Confluent, about AI agents. They discuss what truly makes software "agentic," where agents are successfully being deployed, and how to conceptualize and build agents within enterprise infrastructure.  Sean shares practical ideas about the changing trends in AI, the role of basic models, and why agents may be better for businesses than for consumers. This episode will give you a clear, practical idea of how AI agents can change businesses, instead of being a vague marketing buzzword.

    How Amazon S3 works (w/ Andy Warfield)

    In this season of the Analytics Engineering podcast, Tristan is deep into the world of developer tools and databases. If you're following us here, you've almost definitely used Amazon S3 it and its Blob Storage siblings. They form the foundation for nearly all data work in the cloud. In many ways, it was the innovations that happened inside of S3 that have unlocked all of the progress in cloud data over the last decade. In this episode, Tristan talks with Andy Warfield, VP and senior principal engineer at AWS, where he focuses primarily on storage. They go deep on S3, how it works, and what it unlocks. They close out italking about Iceberg, S3 table buckets, and what this all suggests about the outlines of the S3 product roadmap moving forward.

    From Docker to Dagger (w/ Solomon Hykes)

    In this season of the Analytics Engineering podcast, Tristan is digging deep into the world of developer tools and databases. There are few more widely used developer tools than Docker. From its launch back in 2013, Docker has completely changed how developers ship applications.  In this episode, Tristan talks to Solomon Hykes, the founder and creator of Docker. They trace Docker’s rise from startup obscurity to becoming foundational infrastructure in modern software development. Solomon explains the technical underpinnings of containerization, the pivotal shift from platform-as-a-service to open-source engine, and why Docker’s developer experience was so revolutionary.  The conversation also dives into his next venture Dagger, and how it aims to solve the messy, overlooked workflows of software delivery. Bonus: Solomon shares how AI agents are reshaping how CI/CD gets done and why the next revolution in DevOps might already be here.
