The Context Lake: From Low-Code Workflows to an Organizational Memory

Our digital tools create endless streams of information, but the context—the “why” that connects them—is often lost. This talk introduces the “Context Lake,” a powerful architectural pattern for creating a centralized, queryable memory from your company’s scattered data sources.

I’ll demonstrate two ways to leverage this lake to create and deliver dynamic “Context Packages”—bundles of just-in-time information.

The Active Approach (Push): Use low-code automation platforms like Zapier to listen for events in your tools and automatically push relevant context where it’s needed most.

The Memory-First Approach (Pull): Architect a scalable, event-driven platform on AWS that serves as a deep, searchable knowledge base, allowing you to pull rich context on demand.
