When we started SkySQL, we set out to simplify how teams manage and build on their operational data. With AI and serverless capabilities now live, we’re taking that vision to the next level—empowering developers to create transformative applications with ease. Our recent funding from Eniac Ventures, Good Capital, and WTI fuels this mission, allowing us to focus on delivering a platform that drives innovation without compromise.

Evolving Databases to Meet the Needs of Modern Applications

Databases have consistently evolved to align with the needs of application developers. For instance, as JSON emerged as lingua franca for data interchange, databases adapted to natively handle it. As Gen AI applications grow, we see an increasing need to support natural language interactions. This journey is already well underway as most databases have added support for basic vector indexing / search.

Building on this trajectory, SkySQL provides a fully integrated DBaaS platform, where AI capabilities and serverless functionality work seamlessly within the database infrastructure. This enables enterprises to deploy AI-driven applications that can respond instantly and accurately, tapping into real-time operational data without complex integrations.

Introducing Semantic Agents and SkyCopilot: AI Simplified and Streamline

SkySQL’s Semantic Agents and SkyCopilot bring new capabilities to the forefront of database management by simplifying AI-powered interactions with data. With Semantic Agents, developers can easily build applications that can talk to their data in SkySQL – interpreting and answering questions accurately based on the latest operational data. This approach eliminates the need to export data to external systems, maintaining security and governance throughout.

SkyCopilot is an AI-powered chat assistant that provides developers and DBAs with instant answers to database questions, from optimization tips to troubleshooting advice. By streamlining access to critical insights, SkyCopilot boosts productivity, empowering teams to manage and optimize their data more effectively and with greater confidence.

Now With a Flexible, Serverless Solution for Dynamic AI Workloads

SkySQL Serverless is the first true serverless offering for MySQL and MariaDB, designed to deliver cost savings and speed for AI-driven and spiky workloads. By scaling down to zero when idle and instantly ramping up when needed, SkySQL Serverless ensures that users only pay for active usage, eliminating the costs of over-provisioning.

With databases launching in milliseconds and a seamless “pay-as-you-go” model, SkySQL Serverless provides on-demand performance without sacrificing reliability. Built on robust open-source technology, this architecture avoids the compatibility issues often found in other serverless models that fork open source databases, separating compute and storage. SkySQL’s cloud-native approach includes “hot” micro DB servers that are ready to scale up instantly, maintaining performance and availability while minimizing costs.

SkySQL Serverless redefines database management, freeing developers and DBAs from capacity planning, so they can focus on building and optimizing applications without the burden of infrastructure upkeep.

Shaping the Future of Cloud Databases

With features built for the demands of AI and operational data, SkySQL’s platform is positioned to meet the needs of enterprises looking for a simpler, faster, and more cost-effective approach to data management. SkySQL’s recent funding supports our ongoing mission to innovate within the database landscape, creating a platform that brings AI-powered insights directly to business operations, without the friction of traditional database limitations.
