Everyone has an opinion about what AI is doing to data engineering and on the 1st of October we'll discuss what actually made it into production and what hasn't. Three engineers will talk about successful and less successful AI initiatives they've experienced recently. Data Basecamp is a gathering for people who work with data hands on. Data engineers, analytics engineers, platform teams, ML folks. Sessions Session 1: Data Engineering In The Era Of The Software Factory Ben Rogojan @ SeattleDataGuy After over a decade of data engineering, I’ve seen more than a few hype cycles come and go. Every one promised to dramatically shift how businesses used data. They promised that businesses would be at a massive competitive advantage if they could harness their data and become data-driven.

Are companies actually finding value by increasing their data engineering and analytical outputs? Data teams are no longer just responsible for moving data from point A to point B or migrating from one warehouse to another. They are increasingly responsible for creating the context, non dashboard data interfaces, and infrastructure that both humans and AI systems depend on. In this talk, I’ll discuss what I’m seeing across startups, SMBs, and large enterprises as they adopt AI-assisted development and move toward software-factory-style workflows.

This session makes the case that governance is actually evergreen: the same core discipline (classification, access control, quality, monitoring) that's always mattered now has to extend into a new surface area: LLM pipelines, agentic query layers, and model outputs that drive real decisions. Drawing on real-world healthcare AI
