Agentic kill switch is a database problem. So we built Redpanda SQL

Redpanda SQL, powered by the Oxla engine, is now generally available on GCP. The product is positioned as infrastructure for agentic governance — specifically an 'agentic kill switch' that monitors AI agent behavior in real time and can terminate misbehaving agents. The database is designed around join-heavy workloads that correlate agent identities, tools, prompts, models, and transcripts at scale. It uses a stream-table duality called 'bridge queries' and is Postgres-protocol compatible. It ships as a BYOC/BYOVPC deployment so data never leaves the customer's cloud environment. The core technical innovation is a ring-buffer-based shuffle algorithm and linear core-scaling SQL JOINs targeting OLAP memory-bandwidth bottlenecks.
