Electric, the maker of PGlite, is joining Databricks to bring WASM Postgres to AI agent sandboxes.
Electric is leading the way in pioneering backend technology purpose-built for agents. With PGlite, every agent gets its own WASM Postgres build right inside the sandbox where it runs. And Electric’s real-time sync engine synchronizes distributed state back to a central Lakebase, enabling teams of agents to collaborate without losing track of shared context.
Lakebase delivers Postgres at production scale. PGlite brings WASM Postgres into the agent's own sandbox. Sync keeps the two consistent. By combining the power of Lakebase Postgres with the local execution of PGlite, agents get the lightweight databases they need to move fast and the infrastructure required to deploy at any scale.
For developers, this means:
Building collaborative, agentic applications on a single Postgres standard.
Running Postgres directly inside the agent sandbox, giving each agent a lightweight database it needs to move fast.
Keeping teams of agents in sync to instantly share context and act on fresh data, while centralizing control in Lakebase Postgres on cheap, durable object storage.
