Moving AI Apps From Prototype to Production Requires Enterprise-Grade Postgres Infrastructure
AI adoption surged to 78% of organizations in 2024, yet most initiatives remain prototypes. A new Apptio survey shows 90% of tech leaders can’t measure AI ROI, highlighting the gap between experimentation and production. Traditional databases lack vector search and semantic capabilities, forcing firms to rely on brittle, custom integrations. pgEdge’s open‑source Agentic AI Toolkit and MCP server promise enterprise‑grade Postgres infrastructure that bridges prototype to scale while meeting security and compliance demands.
