TL;DR: Enterprise AI teams are discovering that purely agentic approaches (dynamically chaining LLM calls) dont deliver the reliability needed for production systems. The prompt-and-pray modelwhere business logic lives entirely in promptscreates systems that are unreliable, inefficient, and impossible to maintain at scale. A shift toward structured automation, which separates conversational ability from business logic execution, is needed for enterprise-grade reliability.

In modern data architectures, Apache Iceberg has emerged as a popular table format for data lakes, offering key features including ACID transactions and concurrent write support. Although these capabilities are powerful, implementing them effectively in production environments presents unique challenges that require careful consideration. Consider a common scenario: A streaming pipeline continuously writes data to an Iceberg table while scheduled maintenance jobs perform compaction operations.

Whether we call it entry-level or something else, we distinguish between people who are just starting their careers and those who have been around for a while.
