Hans-Juergen Schoenig: Heterogeneous Graphs in SQL/PGQ on PostgreSQL 19
In the previous post, we discussed the basic syntax of graph queries in PostgreSQL 19 and discussed some simple SQL/PGQ examples. However, more often than not applications are more complex and need more than just two basic tables. Therefore, we want to dig a little deeper and see how we can write more complex queries and model some more sophisticated graphs based on real world scenarios. Loading sample data for graphs To demonstrate a couple queries, which happen to be increasingly adva...

Automated Schema Evolution in Pinterest’s Next-Generation DB Ingestion Framework
Yisheng Zhou | Software Engineer IILiang Mou | Sr Staff Software EngineerGabriel Raphael Garcia Montoya | Staff Software EngineerIstvan Podor | Staff Software EngineerIntroductionIn the first post of this series, we introduced Pinterest’s next-generation CDC-based ingestion platform built on Kafka, Flink, Spark, and Iceberg. In production, upstream schemas are constantly evolving, and in a distributed CDC pipeline, schema is not just metadata — it is a cross-system contract spanning ...

Vibhor Kumar: The AI Agent Layer: Architecture, Implementation, and the Future of Intelligent Enterprise Systems
Part 2: Planning, Tool Use, and Reflection Key takeaways Memory gives an agent continuity. It does not give it judgment. Planning, tool use, and reflection are the three capabilities that turn a well-informed model into a system that can act on a real business process. Treat the execution plan as an artifact, not a transcript. If you can’t persist it, version it, and pause it for human approval, it isn’t a plan — it’s improvisation with extra steps. A tool named ‘run a ...
