ABSTRACT:
When your BI team has 1000+ workbooks and a growing request backlog, the answer isn’t more analysts — it’s rethinking the architecture. In this talk we share how Rakuten Kobo’s Data team replaced a centralized BI bottleneck with a code-first model where dashboards are version-controlled files authored end-to-end by AI. We cover the [long-term] strategy, tooling decision, the AI-guided authoring workflow built on Claude Code and Cloud, the real operating boundaries discovered through production-scale data. Attendees will leave with a concrete architecture pattern, an honest account of where the approach has limits, and a staged AI coding model they can adapt to any BI environment.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
We are on the forefront of this shift from BI tools to open source (with the option to still buy commercial license) and this success story can empower and encourage others to follow the suit and start transforming their organizations.
