What happens when two long-time product and engineering leaders—who once yelled at each other across the office—reunite on a podcast to decode the future of data and AI?

In this episode, Vidya Raman hosts Anjan Kundavaram (CPO at Fivetran) and Chandler Hoisington (formerly CPO at EnterpriseDB and AWS exec) for a candid, behind-the-scenes conversation that spans:

* Why the Lakehouse architecture is more than a buzzword—and how Iceberg is quietly winning the open standards race

* Whether RAG, embeddings, and vector databases are already becoming yesterday’s news

* What’s really holding enterprise AI adoption back (hint: it’s not just the models)

* Why unstructured data is the new oil—and what most companies are missing

* How the roles of PMs and engineers are being reshaped (but not replaced) by AI

And a whole lot more—from the false promises of CI/CD for data to whether you’ll really need a vector DB six months from now. If you’re building, shipping, or leading in the age of intelligent infrastructure, this episode is one you won’t want to miss.
