Introducing VAST DataEngine: Real-Time Automation for the AI Era

In this VAST Live we explored how our newly launched VAST DataEngine redefines how enterprises build and automate data pipelines. As an integrated, event-driven compute layer within the VAST Data AI Operating System, the DataEngine enables organizations to move beyond storage —turning data into a live, intelligent system. With serverless Python functions, a Kafka-compatible event broker, and a code-first or low-code interface for building and managing pipelines, teams can automate every step from ingestion to AI inference. The DataEngine provides observability across pipeline execution, allowing users to trace, monitor, and optimize workflows in real time. This unified environment eliminates fragile ETL tools, minimizes latency, and simplifies operations—bringing end-to-end automation directly to your data. In this session you'll learn:   - How the VAST DataEngine unifies event-driven compute and automation across all data workflows - Code-first and low-code options for building and managing real-time pipelines - Observability and governance for every step of the data-to-AI process See a live demo of the DataEngine in action: event triggers, function execution, and real-time workflow orchestration.
