Enterprises rushing to adopt AI are consistently facing the same challenges: brittle pipelines, fragmented data stores, and architectures built for stability rather than continuous iteration. As AI workloads grow in complexity and scale, the gap between prototype performance and production reality widens, and data infrastructure is almost always where it shows first. Why Distributed SQL Is the Modern Foundation for AI by Steve Suehring examines the architectural decisions that determine whether AI projects succeed beyond the proof-of-concept stage. Making the case for PostgreSQL-powered distributed SQL as the most adaptable backbone for enterprise AI, this focused guide covers everything from taming diverse data sources to scaling billion-vector deployments without disruption or compliance risk.
