Where Historians Fall Short for Physical AI

Aug 4, 2026 By Ryan Nelson In InfluxData
Summary Physical AI—machines and industrial systems that sense conditions, reason, and act in the real world—needs two things from operational data: detailed history for training, and real-time telemetry for inference. Traditional data historians weren’t built for either at the speed Physical AI requires. Four gaps result: limited real-time access, compression that strips model-relevant signal, IT/OT fragmentation, and site-by-site architectures.

AI-Powered Spacecraft Operations with InfluxDB 3

Jul 29, 2026 By Charles Mahler In InfluxData
Summary The InfluxDB satellite telemetry demo is a live mission-control application that monitors a simulated fleet of 12 satellites in real-time. It shows how the InfluxDB 3 Processing Engine can detect anomalies as data is written, enrich time series data with third-party data, and power a grounded AI agent using the InfluxDB 3 MCP server to investigate and explain fleet health.

PGVector Isn't Your Vector Databasing Cure-All - and That's Fine

Jul 28, 2026 By Jay Miller | In Aiven
Occasionally, I get asked, "is pgvector enough for Enterprise AI Solutions or should I migrate to a dedicated vector database?" The honest answer is No Create EXTENSION vector; ALONE is not going to solve your solution for enterprise AI. That being said, I don't think you're asking the right question. The better question is, "does a dedicated vector database make sense for my workload or would pgvector suffice?".

Your Prospect Data Is a Pipeline, and Nobody Is Monitoring It

Your Prospect Data Is a Pipeline, and Nobody Is Monitoring It

Jul 23, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
Engineering teams have spent a decade learning that data has a shelf life. Metrics go stale. Caches drift. Pipelines break quietly and keep serving results that look plausible until someone checks the source. That is why observability exists as a discipline and not just a dashboard.
