@OfirEhrlich Everyone's talking about scaling AI agents, but often forget that the infrastructure supporting them needs to scale too!

[HOW THINGS WORK @HowThingsWork_]

Everyone's focused on making AI agents smarter.

But what happens when millions of them start hammering data infrastructure that was built for humans?

@Eon_io_ has introduced Eon Yukon, a serverless engine that continuously ingests, processes and prepares fresh data for AI agents.

In its published benchmark, it used 4× less compute than Spark and 7× less than Flink at the same freshness.

As AI agents scale, efficient data infrastructure is going to matter more than ever.

[Ofir Ehrlich @OfirEhrlich]

What I'm seeing across the industry right now is that the biggest bottleneck to AI adoption isn't model capabilities. It's data infrastructure.

Today, we're expanding the Eon Data Foundation with the launch of Eon Yukon, a new serverless data engine purposely built to change that.

AI agents need fresh, contextualized data to act.
Specialized models need a continuous feed of data and feedback to improve. Both are still served by a stack, an architecture, and methods built for dashboards:

-Spark and Flink clusters sized for peak, plus compaction jobs to keep tables usable.

-A pipeline and a copy for every consumer, staged bronze to silver to gold.

-Hand-written jobs, wired together by an orchestrator and kept alive by specialists.

The result: shipping data is complicated, risky, and expensive. While coding agents ship apps in hours, they rarely build or run data pipelines. The data is too volatile, and a mistake costs too much.

With Yukon, data moves from ingestion to processing to serving in one continuous flow, without the infrastructure and pipelines traditionally required to connect them.

Events become compacted, sorted, deduplicated Iceberg tables within seconds.

Real-time aggregations run inline, with fully managed state. Agents and applications can access fresh data with sub-millisecond latency through a Redis-compatible API or through our SQL and spark compatible query engine.

Beyond moving and serving data, Yukon makes it continuously understandable - Live column-level statistics, accessible through MCP, give agents visibility into the data. Built-in monitoring, sampling, and data minimization help teams maintain control.

At 1M events/sec and equal freshness, Yukon used 4x less compute than Spark and 7x less than Flink. The benchmark is public: run it yourself with Eon’s ingest-bench.

This is another major step toward our vision of an Autonomous Data Foundation for the AI era, built to both protect enterprise data and unlock its full potential.
