In a significant advancement for the operationalization of AI workloads, MNTN, Waystar, and NTT East have joined the growing list of global enterprises adopting EDB Postgres AI (EDB PG AI). This move underscores a shift towards modernizing data platforms that support agentic AI, real-time analytics, and mission-critical operations while ensuring sovereign control over data and infrastructure.
Market Momentum and Research Insights
This trend reflects a broader market transformation identified by EDB in its Sovereignty Matters research. The findings indicate that enterprises pursuing scalable agentic AI prioritize three key requirements: sovereign control of data and models, hybrid deployment flexibility, and a unified platform that integrates transactions, analytics, and AI workloads. EDB PG AI is designed to meet these demands, leveraging an open-source Postgres foundation.
Organizations such as MNTN, Waystar, and NTT East are now standardizing on EDB PG AI to enhance their operational capabilities. The platform facilitates high-performance analytics, regulated transactional systems, and AI-native workloads on a single, enterprise-grade foundation.
Kevin Dallas, CEO of EDB, remarked, “Agentic AI changes what enterprises require from their data platform. It’s no longer sufficient to simply add AI to fragmented infrastructure or rely on opaque proprietary stacks. Organizations achieving the best outcomes are those that build on platforms allowing them to govern their data, deploy flexibly, and operationalize AI securely within their control.“
Case Studies of Adoption
Several enterprises illustrate the diverse applications of EDB PG AI:
- MNTN: This leading connected TV advertising platform chose EDB to modernize its data warehouse and analytics infrastructure, which supports high-volume advertising data. By implementing EDB PG AI and WarehousePG, MNTN achieved the necessary performance and stability while avoiding vendor lock-in. Greg Spiegelberg from MNTN stated, “The performance is there, the stability is there, the support is responsive—as they should be. It just made sense.“
- Waystar: Serving approximately half of the U.S. patient population, Waystar relies on EDB PG AI for its mission-critical transaction processing environment. The company selected EDB to consolidate and scale its data infrastructure while ensuring reliability in highly regulated healthcare workflows. Joshua Dove, Vice President of Technical Operations at Waystar, noted, “What stood out to me was the confidence and trust inspired by the EDB team. They genuinely cared about our success and demonstrated flexibility and expertise throughout the process.“
- NTT East: As one of Japan’s leading telecommunications providers, NTT East adopted EDB PG AI Factory to enhance AI-driven network operations within private environments. This deployment allows NTT East to build and operationalize AI agents while maintaining strict control over data locality and infrastructure. Shota Takano, Manager of Innovation and Technology at NTT East, expressed, “EDB’s support alleviated our concerns, with rapid QA and close collaboration with global engineers, making them a highly attentive team.“
Growing Confidence in Open Source
The broad adoption of EDB PG AI highlights a significant market demand for open-source database foundations to support complex, mission-critical workloads. Currently, 35% of enterprises globally consider PostgreSQL for such tasks, reflecting a growing confidence in open standards as the backbone for modern data and AI architectures.
EDB Postgres AI capitalizes on this momentum by offering a Postgres-native platform that merges the innovation and flexibility of open source with the enterprise-grade capabilities necessary for scalability, security, and AI integration. Customers benefit from:
- An open source–based foundation: This enables freedom from vendor lock-in while leveraging the global PostgreSQL ecosystem for continuous innovation.
- Accelerated AI development and deployment: Integrated capabilities such as low-code AI pipelines, vector search, and EDB’s AI Factory are all natively aligned with Postgres.
- Hybrid, multi-cloud, and sovereign deployment flexibility: Organizations can maintain control of their data while modernizing at their own pace.
- Enterprise-grade reliability and support: This ensures confidence for mission-critical and regulated workloads.
Through these capabilities, organizations like MNTN, NTT East, Waystar, and others across various sectors are adopting PostgreSQL not merely as a database, but as a strategic platform for analytics, AI, and long-term digital transformation.
