Fivetran’s CPO: Closed data stacks won’t survive the agent era

Fivetran says AI agents will generate far more warehouse queries than humans, making closed data stacks costly and hard to scale.

CPO Anjan Kundavaram argued that all requests hitting the same compute path can drive up cloud spending and create bottlenecks.

The company is pushing its Open Data Infrastructure approach and benchmark as a way to consolidate context, improve AI accuracy, and cut costs.

The message for enterprises: agentic analytics may require more open, flexible data architectures to avoid expensive query growth and poor AI outputs.
