This is unfortunate, but this is why we're making cloud storage, databases, etc all branchable and recoverable at @neondatabase and @databricks! Agentic development will need a new kind of cloud infra.
New episode with @thruflo from @ElectricSQL on why agents are data not compute.
We recorded this at Heavybit DevGuild in May - way before Electric announced their acquisition by Neon/DataBricks - congrats James and team!
Congrats @thruflo and the @ElectricSQL team on joining @databricks / @neondatabase today. You bet early that sync was a general primitive, and it turned out to be important not just for human collaboration but for agents too. Excited for this next part of your journey.⚡️
Databricks is acquiring Electric, the startup behind the WASM Postgres project PGlite. It's a bet that AI agents need thousands of tiny, disposable databases and a sync engine to hold them together. https://t.co/GYHNqlnopG
This is huge! @ElectricSQL is joining @neondatabase
I learned firsthand at Materialize the surprising amount of complexity behind realtime. Electric team is very good.
PGlite + real-time sync have emerged as key primitives in an era where millions of apps are deployed by agents.
We’re excited to announce @ElectricSQL is joining team Neon at Databricks to build the world's most advanced Postgres backend platform.

We’re excited to announce that @ElectricSQL, the maker of PGlite, is joining Databricks to bring WASM Postgres to AI agent sandboxes.
Together, we’re excited to extend Databricks' Postgres capabilities from the lakehouse to the edge.
Electric is leading the way in pioneering backend technology purpose-built for agents. With PGlite, every agent gets its own WASM Postgres build right inside the sandbox where it runs, providing ultra low latency access to local context. And Electric’s real-time sync engine synchronizes distributed state back to a central Lakebase, enabling teams of agents to collaborate without losing track of shared context.
Please join us in welcoming the Electric team! https://t.co/U1pMDP5UF8
@tobi this is directionally correct (@ElectricSQL is ahead of the curve here with @DurableStreams - log-driven state w/ sync)
but you hit the limit of this quickly when you have high-churn, large state - needs compaction
@GrantSlatton nah bro just tell claude to make it really performant and scalable. i got a linear clone with real time sync which can handle 10k users on my $10 server with @ElectricSQL
Introducing Electric Circuits ⚡️
Turn any static Postgres query into a live, reactive dataflow — incrementally maintaining results and streaming only what changed, all the way to your app.
Static queries in. Live applications out.
Checkout the blog post and repo in 🧵
This is Electric Circuits: a new primitive that turns any static database query into a live one — fine-grained reactivity, end to end, from Postgres to your app.
Built on DBSP and @DurableStreams
