So we built Redpanda SQL **[Redpanda](https://daily.dev/sources/redpanda)** · 5 min read · 1 upvotes · 0 comments ## Summary 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. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
