Is the Modern Data Stack dead? Jordan Tigani thinks it's looking awfully sleepy these days..
With agents rewriting our expectations on code, SQL, and analytics, what happens to the MDS ecosystem we've been building for the last decade?
In his latest post, Jordan lays out a framework for where things are headed:
🦆 Humans will write less and less SQL; even our head of finance uses AI-generated analytics
🦆 Context layers will be written in English, not YAML, and maintained by LLMs
🦆 BI tools that can't adapt become curiosities
🦆 Data engineers become conductors of agent orchestras
🦆 The MDS collapses into three pieces: Storage, Compute, Context
Even more: Jordan predicts we'll see a text-to-SQL scandal in 2026. But it won't slow anything down.
