EDB Postgres AI Launch: Shifting To Autonomous, Sovereign Data For The AI Era

EnterpriseDB (EDB) introduced the EDB Postgres AI (EDB PG AI) platform on June 23, 2026, designed for AI applications to operate directly on live data rather than outdated copies from cloud data lakes. The platform allows organizations to host AI models, live data, and enterprise regulations within their infrastructure, reducing vendor lock-in and protecting regulated data. The EDB PG AI platform features a self-optimizing system that transforms PostgreSQL into an autonomous database, monitoring over 200 metrics for automated tuning and scaling. EDB claims performance troubleshooting can be up to 10 times faster, with issues resolved in minutes instead of the traditional 60 to 90 minutes. It also includes a converged query interface that integrates various data types into a unified engine, enabling AI agents to access authorized live data. An agent governance framework will be introduced in late 2026 to address risks associated with AI operations. EDB collaborates with IBM Power for a robust AI-ready infrastructure and integrates Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform for enhanced management capabilities.

Eric Barone gives players a small update on Haunted Chocolatier’s progress: ‘It’s not a simple task, as I torture myself over every last detail’

Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone has been developing Haunted Chocolatier for five years, focusing on refining every aspect of the game. He aims for it to be larger and more complex than Stardew Valley, with a bigger map, more characters, and intricate systems. Barone has dedicated significant time to the chocolate-making mechanics and is committed to creating an engaging user interface that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. He emphasizes the importance of balancing information presentation to avoid overwhelming players and aims to replicate and enhance the intuitive design of Stardew Valley. Barone prioritizes quality over speed, indicating that the game may take additional years to complete.

EDB launches agentic Postgres AI with governance tools

EDB has introduced new features for its Postgres AI platform, including an agentic database and converged analytics capabilities, allowing enterprises to run AI agents alongside transactional workloads on a unified PostgreSQL foundation. The platform includes governance tools that position control mechanisms at the data layer and integrates AI processing with operational data, enabling businesses to connect live records with AI systems without transferring sensitive information. The agentic database can monitor over 200 metrics, identify issues, suggest changes, and apply fixes automatically based on user-defined policies. It consolidates various data types through a single SQL interface, significantly accelerating database tuning processes and enhancing application performance. EDB has also expanded its analytics capabilities with a zero-ETL architecture for real-time analysis and large-scale warehousing. EDB PG AI for ClickHouse targets real-time analysis, while EDB PG AI for WarehousePG focuses on historical analysis at petabyte scale. The platform claims up to 30 times faster query performance compared to legacy systems and improved scaling efficiency. EDB's platform integrates vector search and retrieval for AI agents, demonstrating lower query latency and higher retrieval accuracy than competitors. NTT East is using EDB PG AI for AI-driven network operations, while the governance feature manages agent access at the data querying point using native Postgres roles and row-level security. The platform can be deployed on-premises, in hybrid environments, or across cloud infrastructures, with partnerships including Dell, IBM, Nvidia, Red Hat, and Supermicro.
