TiDB SCaiLE 2026 brings together the builders, operators, and infrastructure leaders running data platforms under agentic workloads. Agents now create databases, provision tenants, and drive query volume without a human in the loop, and the systems underneath them are being rewritten to keep up. This year’s program spotlights the architectural decisions that make that possible. 

We are looking for original, practitioner-led talks with real numbers, real tradeoffs, and real production scars. If you have built something worth sharing, this is your stage.

2026 Session Tracks

1. AI-Native: Infinite Agents
   Show how you designed for workloads where software, not people, is the primary user: agent-driven provisioning, per-agent or per-tenant isolation, vector and semantic retrieval, memory layers, sub-second database creation, and cost control when instance counts run into the millions.
2. Enterprise: Infinite Data
   Present what it took to run transactional and analytical workloads at scale across global, compliance-sensitive, or high-throughput environments: consolidation projects, zero-downtime migrations, multi-region resilience, observability, and the operational practices that held up under load.

What We’re Looking For

We welcome submissions including but not limited to:

• Where TiDB fits in your stack, or why you evaluated it and chose something else
• Distributed SQL in production: what worked, what broke, what you would do differently
• Data architectures behind agentic and AI-native applications
• Scaling storage and compute independently
• Multi-tenancy at high tenant counts
• Platform engineering practices that improved reliability
• Lessons from outages, performance tuning, or migration projects
• Real-time analytics inside transactional systems

Panels and roundtables on emerging data infrastructure topics are also encouraged.

Talk Format & Deadline
