Such a clean developer experience. What’s the cost look like for this use case? Is it viable as it scales up?

Enabling an agent to query financial data really helps on the analysis side. How are you tackling the data ingestion side? The challenge I’ve seen again and again is logging financial data from different sources in a consistent way such that it is able to be aggregated and queried. I’ve been curious if AI can help there.

Agreed that performance always has a cost, and not just on maintainability. I've seen working with financial ledgers that there's a ceiling on throughput when read-after-write consistency is required. If you want to make sure a financial account can't go below 0, then each write must be processed serially. That means a round trip to a database each time.
