🎤 Session Details: The Model Gets the Headlines. The Database Wins the Race
Everyone is arguing about which model is best. Almost nobody is talking about the system underneath it. In F1, the driver gets the trophy, but the car decides who is on the podium. Production AI works the same way: the model is the part users see, while the data layer decides whether your product feels instant or unusable. This talk maps the F1 grid onto a production AI system: models as drivers, data as fuel, observability as telemetry. Then it shows the full loop live: natural language questions over F1 race data through LibreChat, an agent querying ClickHouse via MCP, and every request traced in Langfuse, with latency, tokens, and cost queryable as plain SQL. You'll leave knowing how to instrument your AI system like a race engineer, and why the teams that win are the ones that build the whole car.
