How real teams are building data & AI stacks in 2025
· 60 minutes
About this event
We analyzed how 330+ data teams are building their stacks in 2025: what tools they're choosing, how those tools interact, and where things break.
Some of what we found:
- Postgres dominates #1 for both transactions and analytics storage.
- 50% of teams skip warehouses/lakes entirely.
- AI adoption is up, but average trust is just 5.5/10.
In this session, we'll walk through the top patterns from the Metabase Community Data Stack Report 2025, show how we approached the analysis, and share our take on why certain tools (and workarounds) are winning.
If you're building, maintaining, or rethinking a stack, this is a technical look at what real teams are doing-not just what vendors say they are.
