@akothari @osama_latrache @NotionHQ Ngl postgres probably was enough
(Jk but fr just launched an oss project pgGraph to let you build blazing fast graphs over large amounts of data)
dale@daleverett
Today, we’re launching pgGraph: an Apache open-source graph traversal engine for Postgres, written in Rust 🦀 When we started Evokoa, we kept running into the same wall every serious agent team eventually hits: > Agents need to reason across relationships. > But graph DBs are expensive AF, and suck to use. So, we built pgGraph around a simple, single idea: Postgres should stay the source of truth, and the graph engine should live beside it. pgGraph does something different. > It keeps the rows in Postgres, > Compiles the topology around them, > Creates a virtual graph layer using CSR-style adjacency arrays. We're making your existing postgres database graph-traversable for agents without any of the usual BS. > No recursive join hell. > No ETL pipeline. > No second source of truth. > Blazing fast performance pgGraph is already live in production workflows across RevOps, healthcare, and visa services. We’re open-sourcing it because graph traversal should become a default primitive in the agent stack, not an enterprise migration project. Treat Postgres as a graph. Zero data migration. This is what Apache AGE should have been. Docs + Repo below.

@osama_latrache @NotionHQ hahaha we've been trying to shed that category for SO long. I guess we needed to do a developer day to finally put it to bed.

@thehenryinsf @inesboutem fr… but they are the ones that care the most

@inesboutem the 5x usually comes from one or two users pushing back on the part of the story you were most attached to. landing pages don't argue with you, people do.

Mid-batch YC reflection:
most important learning probably is "just freaking launch already."
We 5x clarity and understanding of problem/customer solution the week after we launched

Want to (officially) use Codex at work?
Send this post to your CTO to bring your team to Codex. Eligible enterprise customers who switch in the next 30 days get 2 free months of Codex usage for new users.

Databases are simultaneously the most interesting pieces of software in the world and the thing people want most to be "boring" tech.
Availability, reliability, and performance are the big-three asks of a database.
Postgres is > 1 million lines of C
MySQL is > 4 million lines of C/CPP
Incredible engineering effort goes into making boring tech.

codex is the best AI coding product and we want to make it easy to try.
for the next 30 days, we are giving companies that want to try switching over two months of free codex usage.

brb killing saas in singapore with @minimax @zocomputer and @CloutedHQ this fri! we are alr >2x oversubscribed. text me if you are trying to get on the list
looking forward to seeing @0thernet 's Zo setup and actually build new stuff with everyone in the room. Zo has already replaced so many things for me and our team has a massive shared skills hub.
for those new to it we will show you how you can get started on replacing scheduling, link organization, marketing workflows and quickly launching sites
we clearly haven't replaced luma tho
looking fwd to hangin out 🤙🏻

how to read the room in venture right now:
if a partner keeps saying founder quality matters more than ever, ask what they actually mean.
often it just means their old product heuristics stopped working and theyre retreating into vibes, references, and charisma theater.
agents are making this painfully obvious.
the firms that win this cycle wont be the ones with the prettiest taste.
theyll be the ones willing to underwrite businesses that look weird to human pattern matching but survive base model progress.
most vcs were never underwriting the future.
they were underwriting familiarity with better branding.
that game is breaking.
founders should notice who still asks the same legacy questions after the workflow changed.
those are not your investors.
those are museum curators for the last software cycle.

@ycombinator @paulg that's exactly how i felt in silicon valley. listen to Paul and go there, at least once.
it’s like the matrix - once you come back, nothing feels the same.

Moving fast and building a big company requires saying "no" to everything else.
Founders must be intentional with their decisions.
