Guide to Agentic Systems and AI Agents
Summary
Agentic AI systems are autonomous software platforms that perceive, reason, execute multi-step tasks, and learn with minimal human intervention, unlike traditional generative models. These systems use LLMs as reasoning engines with external tools and memory to complete complex workflows, with enterprise adoption spanning customer service to financial risk.

A practical guide to cost optimization with Lakebase Postgres
Lakebase Postgres delivers low, predictable costs when you sync only the working subset of Lakehouse data, match sync modes to actual freshness needs, and right-size compute so hot data fits in cache. Combining these optimization practices with serverless scale-to-zero, tuned PITR, and shared storage ensures strong performance and availability without paying for unused resources.
How to scale agentic applications without creating AI sprawl
Scaling autonomous agentic applications without creating AI sprawl requires shared infrastructure for context, tooling, governance, and observability instead of rebuilding capabilities for every agent. Establishing centralized choice, governed enterprise context, and rigorous control ensures teams can adopt new models while enforcing scoped permissions, consistent policies, and operational tracing.
Your data, your storage, your rules: a 2026 guide to storing Unity Catalog managed tables
You can redirect where Unity Catalog managed tables land by using SET MANAGED LOCATION and moving existing data through external table conversion. Defining managed storage paths at the metastore, catalog, or schema level keeps you in control of your cloud storage to support compliance and accurate cost attribution.

Lakebase Search: State-of-the-art full text and vector search for Postgres
Lakebase Postgres now includes a built-in search engine, generally available on AWS and Azure, that enables native semantic, keyword, and hybrid search directly alongside operational data without separate ETL pipelines. Featuring a serverless architecture that scales to zero and decouples storage from compute, it delivers twice the throughput at a quarter of the cost of cloud Postgres with pgvector on 100-million-vector benchmarks.
