It’s a Data Problem, Not a Model Problem. **[Couchbase](https://daily.dev/sources/couchbase)** · 9 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments ## Summary Couchbase announces general availability of its AI Data Plane for self-managed Couchbase Enterprise deployments, extending beyond its managed Capella service. The platform addresses why enterprise AI agents stall in pilot by providing a unified data infrastructure layer with persistent agent memory, governed data access via an MCP Server, and an Agent Catalog for tool/prompt/trace management. The release also includes Apache Iceberg federation, a new Rust SDK, Bluetooth peer-to-peer sync for edge environments, React Native 1.1 support, and expanded infrastructure-as-code capabilities. The core argument is that AI agent production failures stem from fragmented data stacks rather than model limitations, and consolidating memory, caching, vector search, and operational data into one governed layer removes the bottlenecks that prevent pilots from reaching production. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
