It provides workload serving, business semantics, contextual grounding, access control, and AI execution services through a common governed layer.

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
