Exploring Next — Ep 344 w/ Justy & Cody — Definity embeds agents inside Spark pipelines to catch failures before they reach agentic AI systems

Episode 344 of Exploring Next takes a skeptical look at Definity putting agents inside Spark and dbt execution so teams can catch stale inputs, skew, memory pressure, and bad downstream writes during a run instead of after the damage is done.
