How do you protect production databases from agentic workloads?
AI agents and coding assistants issue queries nobody wrote or reviewed, often in bursts against tables that were historically quiet. Pre-caching doesn't help because there is no fixed list of queries to warm. Readyset sits in front of MySQL or Postgres, automatically caches high-impact query patterns as they appear, and coalesces identical requests so a burst reaches your database as a single query.
AI-Generated Queries Break Database Assumptions
Agent traffic breaks the assumptions most database capacity planning is built on.
Agents that write their own SQL can generate query patterns your team never designed, tested, or tuned.
Agent traffic can arrive in sudden bursts, sometimes against tables that rarely saw reads before.
Pre-caching depends on knowing your queries in advance, and agent traffic keeps changing what those queries are.
Identical uncached requests arriving at once can all hit your database, multiplying load.
Platform teams carry the risk but often have limited control over what agents query.
Automatic Database Protection for Agent Workloads
Readyset absorbs unpredictable read traffic automatically, so your database stays stable no matter what.
Detects high-impact query patterns as they emerge and caches them automatically, with no manual setup.
Coalesces identical in-flight requests on a cache miss into a single query against your database.
Lets platform teams exclude specific queries or schemas from caching by policy.
Keeps adapting as agent query patterns shift, so the cache doesn't go stale as a list would.
Deploys as a MySQL or Postgres endpoint, with no application changes.
Safe Database Behavior Under Agent Load
When agents generate queries at scale, database safety has to be enforced automatically.
Drop-in deployment.
Point your connection string at Readyset. It speaks the MySQL and Postgres wire protocols, so your application keeps working as written.
Protection without prediction.
Readyset caches high-impact patterns as they emerge, so you don't need to know what an agent will ask for.
Guardrails for platform teams.
Exclude sensitive queries or schemas from automatic caching through policy, without touching application code.
