Adam Stachowiak

Well, friends, this is The Change Log.

I'm Adam Stachowiak, editor-in-chief here at changelog.com.

And today on the show, I'm talking to Ajay Kalkarni, co-founder and CEO of Tiger Data.

We trace his path to becoming a CEO.

We dig into the themes that have shaped his career.

And we explore how founder values end up forming company culture.

From his enterprise days to building Timescale, renaming to Tiger Data, we cover the whole journey.

And here's where it gets really, really interesting.

Agents in the database.

Not the hype, the real thing.

The real thing, baby.

We get into how fast you can go from idea to shift these days, what it actually means to talk to your database, and the whole API, CLI, MCP skills landscape we're all working in.

Ajay drops this gem, build skills, not agents, and we unpack that in this episode.

A massive thank you to our friends and our partners at fly.io.

That is the home of changelog.com.

It could be your home too.

Okay, let's talk agents and the database.

Well, friends, I'm here with a good friend of mine, again, Kyle Galbraith, co-founder and CEO of depot.dev.

Kyle, we are in an era of disruption, right?
