ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Running a database company requires expertise in both technical and managerial skills. There are deeply technical engineering questions around query paths, scalability, and distributed systems. And there are complex managerial questions around developer productivity and task allocation.
Sam Lambert is the CEO of PlanetScale, which is building modern relational database infrastructure. Before PlanetScale he spent several years on infrastructure at GitHub. He joins the show to talk about his work at PlanetScale and the vision for the company.

Most AI agent setups today are built around a single session, where one user interacts with one agent at a time. However, that model breaks down when an agent has to serve a business, where thousands of requests can arrive at once and each session needs to be isolated, durable, and recoverable. Get…
Retrieval has become one of the central problems in building useful AI systems. The standard approach to grounding a model in one’s own data has been retrieval augmented generation, or RAG, where an agent searches a vector database for relevant information at query time. That pattern works, b…
Historically, databases were responsible for storing data and returning exact results in response to queries. However, AI is now bending that contract in a new direction. Applications increasingly expect structured and unstructured data to come together. This is pushing databases into territory tha…
A Rust Framework to Simplify Distributed Systems
Building software that runs across many machines is notoriously difficult. Developers have to grapple with problems such as race conditions, partial failures, and message ordering. Notably, one category of distributed software has largely escaped…
