DESCRIPTION:Dashboards tell you what happened. They rarely tell you when it
  matters.\n\nIn this talk\, we present a Python-first approach to building
  active KPI systems on top of the modern data stack. Using a semantic mode
 l to define metrics\, dimensions\, and business logic\, we move beyond sta
 tic dashboards toward event-driven data workflows.\n\nWe’ll show how to 
 define KPIs as code using typed schemas\, compute them using DuckDB\, and 
 attach intelligent alerting that triggers when meaningful changes occur. N
 ot just threshold breaches. Instead of brittle “if > X then alert” log
 ic\, we introduce context-aware rules\, anomaly detection\, and dependency
  aware KPI evaluation.\n\nWe’ll also cover a lightweight Python-based al
 erting framework that integrates with common tools (Slack\, email\, APIs)\
 , enabling self-service data monitoring.\n\nAttendees will learn how to tu
 rn passive dashboards into operational data system. And yes\, while it cou
 ld be enhanced with\, in its core this works entirely without LLMs.\n\nExa
 mple code and a minimal alerting framework will be shared.
