Google tells database devs to lean hard on AI for PostgreSQL work

Google is urging database developers to heavily integrate AI into their PostgreSQL workflows, signaling a major push to embed machine learning tools directly into database management tasks. 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.
