AI agents and LLMs are accelerating software development, but they have not changed the underlying need for reliable infrastructure. This article explores why PostgreSQL remains a trusted foundation as AI reshapes the stack, drawing on perspectives from Tiger Data, RedMonk, SiliconANGLE, The New Stack, and independent database analysts. Its transactional correctness, extensibility, open source ecosystem, and ability to support workloads from structured data to vector search allow developers to add new capabilities without replacing the database they already trust.
