When AI Agents Delete the Wrong Thing: Why Recovery Must Keep Pace with Agentic Speed
AI agents now write code and execute tasks at machine speed—but when they delete production data, most recovery systems are too slow to help. Experts say air-gapped backups and granular restores are essential as agentic AI blurs the line between coding aid and autonomous operator.
The Data Layer Underneath an Agentic System Must Handle Variable Schemas, Vector Embeddings, and Real-Time Retrieval
Digital-native startups are abandoning rigid, schema-first databases in favor of flexible data stacks that can absorb the variable schemas, vector embeddings, and real-time retrieval demands of autonomous AI agents.
Why EDB Wants You to Run Analytics Inside Postgres Instead of a Lakehouse
EDB's converged analytics approach leverages Postgres as the operational source of truth, using Apache Iceberg to connect analytical engines without ETL pipelines. The play: keep data on infrastructure you control, simplify governance, and support AI agents that need real-time access to both transactional and historical data.
