Databases have always been the backbone of enterprise software. But for most organizations, they remain locked behind SQL expertise, manual operations, and complex integration layers that make them inaccessible to the people and AI systems that need them most.

Today, we're changing that.

We're excited to announce the general availability of AI-Native Database Service (AIDBS) — a unified platform that transforms your existing Alibaba Cloud databases into intelligent, agent-ready data infrastructure.

The Problem: Three Gaps in Enterprise Data

We built AIDBS because we kept hearing the same three challenges from our customers:

The Access Gap. Business analysts, product managers, and executives depend on engineering teams to write SQL queries. Every insight request becomes a ticket, a queue, a delay. By the time the data arrives, the decision moment has passed.

The Operations Burden. DBAs — your most expensive and specialized engineers — spend their days on performance tuning, anomaly triage, and capacity firefighting. Reactive work that AI can handle better and faster.

The AI Integration Challenge. Development teams want to build AI agents that query, understand, and act on production data. But connecting AI to live databases with proper security, context, and reliability is still a months-long engineering project.

The Solution: One Platform, Three Superpowers

AIDBS addresses all three gaps with a unified platform built on top of your existing Alibaba Cloud databases:

1. Data Agent — Natural Language Queries for Everyone

Data Agent lets anyone in your organization query databases using natural language. Ask a question in English (or any language), and get back SQL-verified answers as interactive charts, tables, or narrative reports. It understands your schema, respects your access controls, and supports shareable agent endpoints so teams can embed data Q&A directly into their internal tools.

2. Autonomous Operations — Self-Managing Databases

AIDBS's DAS Agent brings autonomous database operations to your production workloads. It detects anomalies in real-time, identifies root causes, applies optimizations automatically, and generates detailed incident reports. Performance tuning, index optimization, capacity scaling — all handled by AI, 24/7. Your DBAs can finally focus on database architecture and strategic work instead of operational firefighting.

3. AI Agent Development Platform — Build Agents on Real Data

For development teams building AI applications, AIDBS provides a production-grade stack that includes cloud-managed Dify (visual workflow orchestration), RAGFlow (data preparation and retrieval-augmented generation), Supabase (backend-as-a-service for rapid development), native MCP server support (Model Context Protocol for AI-database connectivity), and an AI Data Gateway for agent observability and security. All pre-integrated with your existing PolarDB, AnalyticDB, and RDS instances.

Zero Migration, Immediate Value

AIDBS is designed to work with your existing database infrastructure. There's no data migration required, no new instances to provision, and no architectural overhaul needed. It connects directly to the databases you already run on Alibaba Cloud and adds an intelligent layer on top.

This means you can start getting value within minutes of enabling the service — not weeks of setup and configuration.

Flexible Pricing, Free to Start

We've made it easy to explore AIDBS without financial commitment:

• Data Agent: Free trial available

• Forecast Agent, DataBridge Agent, AI Data Gateway: Free during public preview
