The data industry had a rough few years. After the explosion of 2020 to 2022 came what Salma called "the malaise." Slower adoption. Harder conversations. A lot of tools that overpromised and underdelivered. Tristan Handy closed our Signals25 conversation with something that felt genuinely earned rather than performed: "I think there's more positive movement in the space than there has been in several years." Iceberg adoption is accelerating. The control plane layer is coming into focus. And the category is finally asking the harder questions about what trust in data actually requires versus what it looks like in a demo. We wrote it all up. Full recap of the Signals25 fireside chat with Tristan and Salma on the blog. Link in comments, along with the clip.
