Great article with a clear and insightful perspective on how true data portability is essential for unlocking AI’s full potential in complex enterprise environments. In this scenario, can you share the plan for how reDB would handle data governance and compliance challenges, especially in the context of highly regulated industries?

Thanks! Governance and compliance are built into reDB by design. Access is policy-driven, context-aware, and fully auditable - so even when data moves across environments, it's encrypted, obfuscated if needed, and always controlled.

This is amazing overview of the current challenges.
As a database practitioner and a founder of a database startup, I would be curious to see how you approach these challenges and address them. Also, how you make it economically sustainable too.

Thanks, really appreciate the feedback - we’re tackling this by moving away from the old “pipeline for every problem” mindset. Instead, we built a mesh that connects all your databases—regardless of tech or location. With our unified model, we can handle access, migrations, replications, and even obfuscation. The model understands schemas across different types of databases and provides version control.
On the sustainability side, we don’t sell services or ETL tooling. We license the core platform like you would a service mesh or gateway. It’s meant to be scalable, reduce tool sprawl, and cut down on all the manual stuff teams usually have to maintain. The goal is to make modern data infrastructure both smarter and lighter to run.

Excited to see this live, looking forward to kicking the tires!

This looks strong! What’s the top early pain point you’re seeing reDB solve for first users / testers? Congrats on the launch!

Thank you! The primary early pain point with many enterprise users and testers have to do with migrations but we are seeing a very strong increasing trend in the need for providing enterprise authentication and authorization in the MCP server context.
