This week, Software Engineering Daily explored the infrastructure challenges that emerge as applications grow in complexity and ambition. The episodes tackled two sides of this scaling problem: managing the operational demands of time-series data at scale on established databases like Postgres, and building intelligent retrieval systems that can handle increasingly sophisticated agent-driven workflows. Together, they illustrate how modern engineering requires mastery across both the foundational data layer and the emerging patterns that sit atop it.
