Your Open Source Data Infrastructure Is Ready for Agentic AI

As engineering leaders race to build agentic AI solutions, many plan big infrastructure buys. Most do not need them. The fully open source data platforms already running their applications can power capable AI agents with targeted upgrades. Particularly for long-term budgets, the strategy should be to extend what you have wherever feasible, not rip and replace.

Agentic AI looks new, but its infrastructure patterns do not. Agents need streaming inputs, durable and scalable storage, low-latency retrieval and elastic compute for model work….
