Neon vs Prisma

Databricks Powers Agentic Future with $7B Run Rate

Databricks, the data and AI company, has revealed it has surpassed a $7 billion revenue run rate, growing 80% year-over-year, and is valued at $190 billion. The company, which began as a Spark-based data processing platform, has evolved through multiple technology S-curves—Spark, Lakehouse, Lakebase, and now AI agents. Databricks' Lakehouse architecture unifies data lakes and warehouses, while its new Lakebase product, built on the acquisition of Neon, brings operational databases onto the same lakehouse foundation. The company is positioning itself as the 'system of record for agents,' with tools like Genie and Agent Bricks enabling employees to build and manage AI agents. With over 17 million databases launched by agents daily, Databricks is betting on the rise of agentic automation transforming the nature of work and the structure of firms, shifting from managerial hierarchy to human-agent collaboration.

• Databricks surpassed $7 billion revenue run rate, growing 80% year-over-year.
• Databricks is valued at $190 billion.
• More than 17 million databases are launched by AI agents on Databricks every day.

Major update to our Free Plan: now with 1 GB of Postgres storage per project, 100 projects included

Database storage on the Neon Free plan is now 1 GB per project, up from 0.5 GB. You still get 100 projects, with existing projects getting the new limit automatically.

Claimable Neon: Provisioned by agents, claimed by humans

Prisma Is Building the Stack for the Next Million Products

Prisma is building a software factory: one environment where a builder describes what they want and an agent builds it, runs it, inspects it, fixes it, and keeps going. Prisma ORM, Prisma Postgres, and Prisma Compute, connected into one loop.

Atomicity fix for Formbricks AI demo

An open-source contributor found a bug in Formbricks' AI example-response generator where a mid-batch failure left partially committed synthetic survey data, preventing retries. The author reproduced the failure deterministically, implemented a transactional patch using Prisma transactions and a PostgreSQL FOR NO KEY UPDATE lock, and added tests to ensure generated batches either fully commit or fully roll back for the tested failure modes. The model call remains outside the transaction; state is revalidated and a narrow persistence context is used before committing. The upstream issue remained open and the proposed fix lives in the author's fork as of 2026-08-21.

• Formbricks is an open-source experience-management platform that can generate example survey responses for demo purposes.
• A bug allowed partial database commits during example-response generation: some Responses, Displays and Tag links could persist even when the overall operation failed.
• The author reproduced the failure deterministically and implemented a patch that uses a single Prisma transaction, acquires a PostgreSQL FOR NO KEY UPDATE lock, revalidates state, and persists the entire synthetic batch through the same transaction client.
