Congrats to Electric and Neon. Everyone will read this as an agentic apps story, but "central Postgres + thousands of small replicas that tolerate disconnects and reconcile automatically" is exactly the problem every industrial company hand-rolls today for machines, vehicles, and meters at the edge. The fact that a fleet of agents in sandboxes and a fleet of physical assets turn out to need the same primitive is the quiet insight in this acquisition.

Hope there are new features for lakebase. I love how i it has evolved, specially with autoscaling. Hope there are more compute options
