Your Agent Stack Is Broken at the Bottom
summary
Claims that the overlooked data layer is the weakest link, causing POCs to fail in production because of a fragmented, duct-taped infra; shows a concrete stack: Postgres plus ClickHouse serving petabyte-scale low-latency queries to thousands of concurrent agents; argues traditional OLTP/OLAP trade-offs are dead, agents become first-class consumers so latency and scale determine survival; demonstrates an open architecture that lifts-and-shifts into legacy systems rather than rebuilding everything.
