AI Agents Are Transforming Enterprise Database Workloads

Databases have traditionally handled queries from applications and people, but the rise of AI agents in enterprise systems is making that workload far less predictable.

This shift is forcing a rethink of how databases are designed and managed to handle the more complex, variable demands that AI-driven workflows introduce.
