As AI usage accelerates, data pipelines must scale even faster to prevent bottlenecks and maintain performance. Recent research from firms such as McKinsey & Company shows that the appetite for AI-ready data center capacity is expected to grow by approximately 33% per year through 2030. This means that even the best model architectures will be starved of data unless the delivery pipeline scales accordingly.
