Databricks buys Electric to spin up per‑agent Postgres databases for AI workloads
Databricks acquired Electric, the creator of the WASM‑based Postgres engine PGlite, to give each AI agent a cheap, ephemeral database that syncs in near‑real time. The move extends Databricks' Neon serverless Postgres stack and supports the surge of per‑agent database branches, many lasting under 10 seconds.
