Big data doesn’t always mean better data. For many teams, warehouses and lakes have turned into costly overkill—when what’s really needed are lean, focused data products delivered in minutes, not months.

In this episode of DM Radio, host Eric Kavanagh welcomes Michael Kowalchik of Matterbeam, joined by Mark Madsen of ThirdNature and Josh Pendergrass of Broadlume, to unpack a new approach: append-only logs and replay engines that transform raw enterprise data into purpose-built products on demand.

What you’ll hear:

  • Why warehouses and lakes can slow down real transformation

  • How append-only logs enable rapid, last-mile data delivery

  • Practical lessons from building scalable, real-world solutions

  • Where this approach fits in the bigger analytics strategy

If you’ve ever thought, “Why are we dragging an ocean when we only need a stream?” — this conversation is for you.
