From Source to Insight in Seconds: A Modern Real-time Analytics Stack with Supermetal and VeloDB

Most analytics architectures still run on yesterday's data. Source systems hold the truth, but by the time that truth reaches a dashboard, it's hours, sometimes a day, behind business. Closing that gap has been the hardest, most expensive part of the modern data stack, and it's the place teams are now investing the most.

Join VeloDB and Supermetal for a live look at what a leaner, faster real-time analytics stack looks like in 2026. We'll walk through the architecture, why it's a meaningful step beyond legacy CDC and warehouse pipelines, and run a live demo of operational data flowing from a transactional source into both a real-time serving layer and an open lakehouse, all from a single pipeline.

What you'll take away:

• A reference architecture of a modern real-time analytics stack and where it fits in your existing data platform
• How a Rust-native CDC engine and a real-time analytic database change the economics of fresh data
• When to leverage CDC into a real-time system and an open lakehouse
