Postgres Summit US2026

In this session, you’ll get a tour of Postgres on Azure for common use cases across the database, agent, and user-tooling layers. You’ll see how Azure HorizonDB's shared-storage architecture and separation of compute and storage give you predictable performance, rapid failover, high availability, and elastic read scale. Next, you’ll learn about the agent layer. HorizonDB's AI pipelines let you declare chunking and embedding workflows in SQL and run them inside the database—durable, checkpointed, and re-triggered automatically as your data changes, with no external orchestration. The new Postgres MCP server enables you to build a working AI pipeline live from the Copilot CLI, letting the agent inspect real schema, generate the pipeline, and validate results—all without leaving the terminal. Finally, you’ll get a demo the new query plan visualization tool in the latest VS Code extension for Postgres—turning EXPLAIN output into an interactive graph that makes hotspots and bottlenecks obvious.
