Building Advanced Agentic Apps with PostgreSQL on AzureSQLBits 2025
What benefits do agentic architectures bring compared to traditional RAG patterns? In this session, we answer this question by exploring advanced agentic capabilities offered by popular GenAI frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, Semantic Kernel) and how they transform RAG applications built on Azure Database for PostgreSQL. We also cover how to further improve agentic apps by integrating advanced RAG techniques, and making vector search faster with the DiskANN vector search algorithm and more accurate with Semantic Ranking and GraphRAG.
Driving Enterprise Performance with Azure Database for PostgreSQLSQLBits 2025
PostgreSQL is highly favored by developers and enterprises for its extensibility and scalability. Azure Database for PostgreSQL is introducing new innovations in scalability, performance, security/privacy and optimizations, allowing developers to focus more on application logic and less on setup, tuning, security/privacy and optimization.
Discover all the latest enhancements to Azure Database for PostgreSQL that enable building mission critical applications... both easily and securely.
