Kranti Parisa, LaserData - Interview with Alexy

Kranti Parisa, co-founder of LaserData, with Alexy Khrabrov on what they call the AI Infra 2.0 movement. The argument: agentic infrastructure is still being built on legacy stacks, and every hop across a JVM boundary forces serialization, so Amdahl's law caps whatever parallelism can recover -- efforts to accelerate JVM systems reach single-digit speedups where Rust systems reach ten to a hundred times. LaserData's streaming engine, built on Apache Iggy, is Rust, with millisecond P99 response times and three to four times the throughput. Parisa argues that context propagation at millisecond latency matters more in production than inference cost, because an agent working from stale context wastes compute, multiplies subsystem calls and pollutes observability data.
