The directive comes as part of Google's broader strategy to make AI a core component of cloud database operations, aiming to automate performance tuning, query optimization, and administrative chores. This move could reshape how developers interact with PostgreSQL, potentially reducing manual labor but raising questions about reliance on AI for critical data infrastructure.", "body_md": "MOST POPULAR\nEVENTS\n-\nThe Hardware Crunch: How Supply Chain Turbulence Is Forcing a New IT Playbook\nInfrastructure teams are facing a perfect storm: extended hardware lead times, rising costs driven by AI demand, and accelerated platform timelines.\n-\nFrom Prompt to Exploit: How LLMs Are Changing API Attacks\nModern applications are API-driven, interconnected, and often over-permissioned, making them an ideal target for AI-assisted attacks.\n-\nIdentity Resilience: The New Mandate for Cyber Survival\nJoin Druva experts for a compelling deep dive into what it takes to build an identity-first recovery strategy in this new threat landscape.\n-\nIdentity Resilience: The New Mandate for Cyber Survival\nJoin Druva experts for a compelling deep dive into what it takes to build an identity-first recovery strategy in this new threat landscape.\n-\nUnfriendly Followers: The Black Market For Your Identity\nThey’ll reveal how attackers use your profile as intel and show you how to make yourself harder to target\n-\nHow Agents are Reshaping AI Security\nAI adoption is accelerating and with it comes a new security challenge.\n-\nHow Agents are Reshaping AI Security\nAI adoption is accelerating and with it comes a new security challenge.\n-\nAI Found the Problem.
