Striim Announces Neon Serverless Postgres Support to Broaden Agentic AI Use Cases with Databricks
PALO ALTO, Calif., June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Applications in the AI era depend on real-time data, but data ingestion and integration from legacy architectures often hold them back. Traditional ETL pipelines introduce latency, complexity, and stale intelligence, limiting the effectiveness of LLM-driven applications and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). For enterprises building on the Postgres stack, bridging that gap between operational data and real-time AI is critical. Open-source Postgres is widely deployed as the back-end database by developers to address operational requirements. Neon builds on this foundation with a new paradigm for the creation of databases by AI agents. Most recently, Databricks announced Lakebase, based on its acquisition of Neon—a fully managed Postgres database that is a popular choice to build AI Applications on. Now, Striim is excited to announce that it is expanding its Postgres offerings with high-throughput ingestion from Neon into Databricks for real-time analytics, as well as high-speed data delivery from legacy systems into Neon for platform and data modernization. Striim's unified platform further allows vector embeddings to be built within the data pipeline while delivering real-time data into Neon and into Databricks for building Agentic AI use cases. Using Striim, developers can seamlessly migrate, integrate, or replicate transactional and event data along with in-flight vector embeddings, enriched context, and cleansed high-quality data from multiple operational stores into Neon. This modern integration allows modern agentic applications to be rapidly built with Neon as the transactional backend. With this added capability, organizations can: Seamlessly replicate operational data in real-time from traditional systems like Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, and hundreds of other sources to Neon, with zero downtime and automated schema evolution. Enable real-time ingestion and Change Data Capture (CDC) from Neon into Databricks, ensuring AI models and analytics workloads always operate on fresh data. Fuel Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and generative AI use cases natively within Neon or Databricks with inline data enrichment and vector embeddings. Stream event data from Apache Kafka into Neon in real time, eliminating the need for brittle batch-based integrations. Maintain end-to-end data governance with in-flight AI-driven PII detection and resolution, encryption, and support for customer-managed keys. "By extending our platform to support Neon and Databricks, we're giving Postgres-native teams the tools to build real-time, AI-native architectures without rethinking their stack,' said Alok Pareek, co-founder and Executive Vice President of Engineering and Products at Striim. 'Our mission is to help customers modernize from legacy platforms and legacy ETL to real-time agent-incorporated intelligence—and Striim's Vector Agent and Neon CDC and delivery capabilities bring us one step closer to that future.' This expansion builds on Striim's momentum with Databricks, following the support for Databricks Delta Lake with open Delta table formats, and the launch of SQL2Fabric-X, which unlocks real-time SQL Server data for both Microsoft Fabric and Azure Databricks. With Neon now part of the Striim ecosystem, Postgres users can join this wave of modernization: streaming operational data to fuel AI and analytics without sacrificing performance or reliability. To learn more about Striim's support for Neon and Databricks, visit or contact our team at sales@ ABOUT STRIIM, INC. Striim pioneers real-time intelligence for AI by unifying data across clouds, applications, and databases via a fully managed, SaaS-based platform. Striim's platform, optimized for modern cloud data warehouses, transforms relational and unstructured data into AI-ready insights instantly with advanced analytics and ML frameworks, enabling swift business action.

Databricks introduces Agent Bricks for AI agent development
Databricks has launched Agent Bricks, an automated solution designed to facilitate the creation of AI agents tailored to specific business needs. This tool allows users to input a 'high-level' description of the desired task and connect their enterprise data, with Agent Bricks managing the subsequent processes. The service, now available in Beta, is optimised for various industry applications, including structured information extraction, knowledge assistance, text transformation, and multi-agent systems, the company said. Agent Bricks employs advanced research methodologies from Mosaic AI Research to generate domain-specific synthetic data and task-aware benchmarks. This approach enables automatic optimisation for both cost and quality, streamlining the development process and enhancing production-level accuracy. The integration of governance and enterprise controls allows teams to transition from concept to production efficiently, eliminating the need for disparate tools. The functionality of Agent Bricks includes automatic generation of task-specific evaluations and LLM judges, the creation of synthetic data that mirrors customer data, and a comprehensive search for optimisation techniques. Users can select the iteration that best balances quality and cost, resulting in a production-ready AI agent capable of delivering consistent output, the company's statement added. Agent Bricks supports various customer use cases across multiple sectors. For instance, the Information Extraction Agent converts documents into structured data, while the Knowledge Assistant Agent provides accurate answers based on enterprise data. The Multi-Agent Supervisor facilitates the integration of multiple agents for complex tasks, and the Custom LLM Agent allows for tailored text transformations. Databricks CEO and co-founder Ali Ghodsi said: 'For the first time, businesses can go from idea to production-grade AI on their own data with speed and confidence, with control over quality and cost tradeoffs. 'No manual tuning, no guesswork and all the security and governance Databricks has to offer. It's the breakthrough that finally makes enterprise AI agents both practical and powerful.' In addition to Agent Bricks, Databricks has introduced several features at the Data + AI Summit, including support for serverless GPUs, enabling teams to fine-tune models and run workloads without managing GPU infrastructure. The release of MLflow 3.0, a platform for managing the AI lifecycle, allows users to monitor and optimise AI agents across various environments. In May 2025, Databricks announced the acquisition of Neon, a serverless Postgres database company.
