Can a single database architecture satisfy both vibe-coded and large scale enterprise apps?
The same approach makes small database ultra cheap to run and branch can also make a large one faster and easier to operate. We call this architecture Lakebase.
AI for science is an important emerging category. If we get this right it will become one of the most strategic advantages of the United States.
Can't be more excited for my friend @kevinweil to embark on such deep and important problem.
💥 Introducing Warp Sciences, a new company applying AI and robotics to help the world develop new medicines faster.
We’ve raised a $215M Series A led by @lightspeedvp to bring frontier AI out of the browser and into the lab, and build scientific capacity here in America.
I co-founded Warp with my long-time friend @dpatil, FAIR co-founder @manohar_paluri, and drug hunter Sol Reisberg. The early team is full of incredible people like @bkspears9, who helped achieve Q>1 fusion at LLNL.

Espa is now generally available! Personal AI agents are here, and I sat down with @BloombergTV @RomaineBostick to discuss what will decide which ones people actually let into their lives.
Our goal is to be the most trusted AI assistant for life and work.
The opportunity goes beyond an analytics endpoint. Shared storage also opens a path to offloading index builds, VACUUM and other long-running operations. Preserving MVCC and coordinating concurrent writes and catalog changes is where much of the work remains.
Just write to Postgres and get realtime apps with Neon Realtime.
Presenting Livebase, a demo app showing how to build collaborative human <> agent systems on a @neondatabase + @mastra stack.
Neon realtime engine runs in a shallow read replica. Only lakebase architecture has severless read replicas that can run such an engine
Lakebase architecture has many benefits. One of which is making every dba operation instant.
This shift such operations left from dba to a developer and all the way to an agent.
Restoring a 100 TB database with Lakebase Postgres takes seconds.
How?
A branch-based restore is a metadata operation. It creates a branch at a point in time, referencing immutable history that already lives in decoupled storage. No copying data, no replaying WAL. Recovery is near-instant regardless of database size, and simple enough for agents to use in branching and undo workflows.

Neon realtime is so on brand with everything we do.
Hardcore database engineering from first principles and an elegant developer interface.
We will be blogging more about all the query processing approach we took here.
@ElectricSQL team cooked!
