Low-latency analytical systems can help active agents, but only when event loops include validation, context, and safety boundaries.
A semantic layer is necessary, but agents also need lineage, quality, freshness, compliance, and ownership context.
Agentic AI announcements are useful when they validate the need for governed data, semantic context, and cost-aware execution.
Event-driven compaction is valuable when agents coordinate maintenance with workload signals, table health, and commit safety.
