distributed systems

AI agents are expected to respond instantly to queries and triggers, but achieving low latency is difficult with large models, distributed systems, and resource-constrained networks. Even minor delays degrade user experience, erode trust, and limit adoption.

Neon's re-architected PostgreSQL separates compute and storage into a networked system. This architectural change introduces new performance and latency challenges that developers must understand and mitigate compared to traditional monolithic PostgreSQL.
