GoodData.AI Launches the Agentic Serving Plane, a New Category of Enterprise Data Infrastructure for AI Agents10.11.2026 15:30:00 CET | Press release
SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / November 10, 2026 / GoodData.AI, the open agentic analytics platform, today launched the Agentic Serving Plane, a governed execution layer designed for the high-concurrency, context-rich data workloads created by AI agents. The Agentic Serving Plane sits between enterprise data platforms and the applications, analytics experiences and agents that consume them. It provides workload serving, business semantics, contextual grounding, access control, and AI execution services through a common governed layer. The current enterprise data infrastructure was designed primarily for humans: occasional queries, predictable workloads, and access by known users. AI agents operate differently. A single business task can generate tens or hundreds of short-lived data operations as an agent investigates, reasons, and decides what to ask next. When many agents operate simultaneously, intermittent human querying becomes continuous, high-concurrency agentic demand. Ag
