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.Links:• James Arthur’s LinkedIn• James Arthur on X• Electric• Electric blog• Heavybit DevGuild
