Why agents need disposable databases
April 18, 2026
Hello, friends. Agents are rewriting how infrastructure gets used. Traditional databases assume persistence and human setup, but agents spin up and discard environments constantly. Ghost rethinks Postgres for this model, MCP-native and instantly provisioned. Thanks for tuning into this special weekend edition, presented in partnership with Tiger Data. Let us know what you think! —Jason Hiner
your agent needs unlimited postgres.
Agents spin up projects, fork environments, test ideas, and tear them down. Over and over. Every database on the market was designed for humans who provision databases meant to last. Agents don't work that way.
Enter Ghost. The postgres your ai agent would choose if it could choose its own database.
Ghost is MCP-native, so your agent discovers it like any other tool and starts provisioning databases immediately. And because every Ghost database is just Postgres, your agent already knows how to use it.
One CLI command. No credit card. No setup wizard.
The free tier: unlimited databases, unlimited forks, 100 hours of compute and 1TB of storage per month. Give your agents more than 2 projects.
Stop wiring infrastructure. Let your agents cook.
