Databricks adds WASM-Postgres to AI agents, letting each bot run its own local database
Databricks has acquired Electric to embed PGlite, a WebAssembly-based Postgres engine, directly into AI agent sandboxes. Each agent now gets a lightweight, SQLite-like Postgres instance with ultra-low latency, while Electric’s real-time sync keeps distributed state consistent with Databricks’ Lakebase. This lets fleets of agents share up-to-date data without a central DB bottleneck.
