James Arthur from ElectricSQL - agents are data, not compute (Heavybit DevGuild)

In this episode, James Arthur, cofounder and CEO of ElectricSQL, joins us at Heavybit DevGuild. James explains why Electric has evolved from Postgres sync into data infrastructure for collaborative multi-agent systems. We talk about Durable Streams, Electric Agents, why agents should be modeled as long-lived data rather than compute, and why the future of agent infrastructure may look more like sync than sandboxes.
