      <title>The Modern Data Stack for Agents</title>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://lobu.ai/blog/the-modern-data-stack-for-agents/</guid>
      <description>Connectors are CDC, entities are the modelled tables, Automations are dbt models on a schedule. Most of the analogy transfers. It breaks in four places: the loop has to close, derived state is only ever a cache, every read carries who it is for, and you cannot re-run a transform that sends email.</description>

      <title>Self-Improving Agents Are Event-Sourced</title>
      <link>https://lobu.ai/blog/self-improving-agents-are-event-sourced/</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://lobu.ai/blog/self-improving-agents-are-event-sourced/</guid>
      <description>Intelligence stopped being the blocker. Context is. A filesystem gives an agent no schema and no audit trail, so Lobu puts an append-only log in the middle: memory writes are commits, Automations are mutations, and approval is the merge.</description>

      <title>The Context Layer Is an Event Store</title>
      <link>https://lobu.ai/blog/the-context-layer-is-an-event-store/</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://lobu.ai/blog/the-context-layer-is-an-event-store/</guid>
      <description>Tasman says no product can build your context layer because the content doesn't exist. Half right. The governed why is a versioned, access-controlled event store that mirrors the warehouse instead of replacing it — and I built the Kelder scenario to find where that holds and where it doesn't.</description>

      <title>Shopify's Aquifer, in the Open</title>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://lobu.ai/blog/shopifys-aquifer-in-the-open/</guid>
      <description>Shopify treats an agent's corpus as the compounding asset. Lobu keeps the signal—not the chat—and makes that architecture work across companies.</description>

      <title>Filesystem vs Database for Agent Memory</title>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://lobu.ai/blog/filesystem-vs-database-agent-memory/</guid>
      <description>Agents need a workspace to think in and a warehouse to remember in. The filesystem is for ephemeral work. The memory layer is for durable organizational knowledge.</description>

      <title>MCP Is Overengineered, Skills Are Too Primitive</title>

      <description>MCP HTTP is great for external services. MCP stdio is redundant. And most skill systems are just prompt text with no reproducibility. Here's what we built instead.</description>
