I keep getting into conversations with engineers where I talk about how desperately I want my database to support materialized views with incremental updates and too often I get a blank stare in response.

There's obviously a lot of work involved in putting those aspects together to create a working agentic product.
However, from an *infra* point of view, there's nothing there that doesn't pattern match to a database, some processes and real-time sync.

Instructing LLMs means sending an instruction to an LLM. Agentic memory is where you store data that those instructions are based on. Retrieval is the ability to query that data. Context engineering retrieves and formats the right information to send in the instruction.

We chased every incident, fixed every user-reported bug, and made unglamorous work our priority. 🧵
