Today's a big day. We’re announcing Agentic Postgres, and kicking off two weeks of launches around it. 🚀 This one's special for me -- a big step toward what we think the future of data infrastructure looks like in the age of AI. Agentic Postgres is the first database built
Agents are the New Developer Agents, like Claude Code, feel uncanny. My first time using it, I built a mobile web app that tracked pushups using computer vision. Just for fun, to see what it could do. One hour later (mostly its time, not mine), I had an app that just worked.

At midnight the servers began to cry, Queries howled and indexes sighed. Tables were trembling, data astray. Something unholy had come out to play. Rows disappeared into shadow and mist, The schema was twisted, constraints were missed. Backups lay silent, the logs full of dread.

I just published a deep technical dive on Fluid Storage, our new disaggregated block storage layer for Postgres. It comes from years of running one of the largest managed Postgres fleets in the world (outside of the hyperscalers), serving thousands of customers and seeing the

The Future of Software is Internal Agents? There’s a lot of discussion about how AI will change software and how agents will change user experience. One place I think we’ll first see real growth is in the pendulum swinging back from outsourcing everything to SaaS, to building
Agents are the new developers, and they need databases built for how they work. Today we're open-sourcing Eon: a production Slack agent that turns institutional knowledge into instant answers. After 6 weeks, nearly 50% of our company uses it regularly. We learned three things

Sunday reading: Great deep dive about the design and implementation of BM25 in new pg_textsearch for #Postgres. The clarity of TJ's writing screams former academic! 😁 https://t.co/2p3XZNMNKA

Traditional databases weren’t built for AI agents. Agentic Postgres from @TimescaleDB changes that — instant database forks, native vector + BM25 search, and MCP built in. Start Free. Learn more about this launch:

Teams and services humming all week. Strong demand causing the compute layer to autoscale multiple times this week, while keeping our disaggregated Fluid Storage thin provisioned for efficiency. Orchestration and rebalancing worked flawlessly. Love seeing the system in

What a week! 🐯🚀 With Agentic Postgres, we introduced a new foundation for how databases work in the age of AI: forkable databases, reasoning MCP servers, and native search and retrieval, all built directly into Postgres. The part I'm most excited about is Fluid Storage, the

As someone who's spent most of my career on distributed systems, this part of Agentic Postgres might be my favorite. https://t.co/roVJEGlnWF
@mattstratton and @jascha_be just published a video showing zero-copy forks on real production data -- git-like workflows, CI/CD with
why are we all so scared to let AI agents touch our databases turns out it's not because agents are bad. it's because we can't let them experiment on production. and toy data doesn't cut it.

Postgres just got BM25. We built pg_textsearch to bring true BM25 ranking and hybrid retrieval (keyword + vector) to Postgres. There is now: ▪️IDF weighting ▪️term frequency saturation, ▪️length normalization All in native-Postgres. Build RAG systems with

Managing databases with AI shouldn't require duct tape and workarounds. We built Tiger CLI + MCP server so you and your AI assistant can provision, fork, and manage Postgres databases with ease, directly from the terminal. Watch as we spin up databases, fork production safely,
