Last week we announced Netlify Database. The blog post used this prompt as the example:
"I want an app to manage my list of mythical creatures."
Here are 8 more prompts you can paste into the start page and ship before lunch. 🧵

Bazel and k8s deserve a fresh take with coding agents
Find the challenge of designing a company to be operationally efficient sexy, and a good asset to have these days. Just built an internal service for @tuist.dev, Atlas, where we plan to move some of our operations and lean heavily on agents, first starting with CRM tools. 
Learn more about the Postgres extensions we support:
planetscale.com/docs/postgre... pgvectorscale augments pgvector with StreamingDiskANN, making larger-than-RAM vector indexes achievable in Postgres. It also adds statistical binary quantization for improved search recall over regular quantization. PlanetScale supports both. Try them today.
The platforms that win the next decade won't just be the ones agents can provision.
They'll be the ones that help agent-started projects keep moving all the way to production.
That's the AX question. netlify.com/blog/agent-experience-moves-upstream 
You don't need Redis or Kafka for simple Pub/Sub!
Postgres has LISTEN and NOTIFY for simple real-time messaging.
we wrote a beginner-friendly blog with a @bun.sh demo, plus when to use it and when to reach for a queue.

Read the docs and start optimizing your queries now 👇
pris.ly/docs/query-... Now, with Prisma Postgres, you can inspect raw SQL queries and the SQL generated by Prisma ORM, spot inefficiencies, and get prompts you can pass to your AI agents to improve query performance faster. 
Slow queries are hard to fix when you cannot see what is actually running.
Especially with ORMs, raw SQL, or agent-generated code.
That is why we built Query Insights into Prisma Postgres 👇 "But the equation underneath has shifted. If there is an agent in the room with you, the layer of convenience you used to rent gets thinner. The case for owning your infrastructure, or at least owning the ability to reason about it, is stronger than it has been."

What's your preference for personal blog newsletters? I've gone back and forth on full plaintext versus light HTML (mostly for hypertext, but also a bit of italicizing and whatnot)
Netlify Database launched this week: zero-config managed Postgres, built into the platform.
Conor Martin put together a clear walkthrough showing how quickly you can provision one for your app.
Watch here: youtu.be/U1MFRgCTYGc?... We spent the week in Rome for our yearly meetup, and had a phenomenal time together. We timed our 1.0 launch for this week so we could all be together when we hit the button. Flying home now, proud of this milestone and excited to show you the next era of Zed. Big things coming! Cheers 🥂
updated my garden note...and interestingly enough (I don't remember writing it) I'm not so sure about the tattoo bit anymore
