WILMINGTON — November 12, 2026 -- EnterpriseDB (EDB) has hired the agent-native engineering team formerly of CMRD, which built the audit and evidence layer of EDB's agent governance for EDB Postgres AI, to take that work in-house. Christopher Mitchell, CMRD's former managing partner, is now a principal engineer at EDB.
IDC's agent forecast sets the enforcement workload EDB cites
EDB bases the hire on an IDC projection of more than 1 billion AI agents actively deployed worldwide by 2029, executing over 217 billion actions per day. At those floor values, the figure works out to about 217 actions per agent per day. EDB says each action must be permitted or blocked before it runs, recorded as it happens and explainable afterward, on both Postgres and ClickHouse software.
