Episode notes
What if your database could instantly spawn unlimited parallel universes for AI agents to explore? In this exclusive AI Tinkerers One-Shot, Nikita Shamgunov, founder of Neon database and former MemSQL founder, reveals how his team is building the database architecture for the AI age.
Nikita deep dives into their innovative storage subsystem built in Rust, demonstrating how copy-on-write mechanics make it possible to create database branches in milliseconds, regardless of size.
Learn how Neon's architecture supports "disposable software" where AI agents can simultaneously explore multiple implementation paths, and why features like instant branching and automated scaling are crucial for the emerging world of autonomous development.
As the database landscape shifts to accommodate AI agents and serverless archi ...
