Pennsylvania-based Integration Platform as a Service specialist Boomi has joined forces with San Jose headquartered AI data firm Couchbase to accelerate AI pilots to production.

The partnership will see the companies co-engineering solutions that give customers a manufacture-ready foundation for agentic AI, by bringing together Boomi’s connectivity, runtime, and governance for AI agents with Couchbase’s scalable recollection and vector capabilities.

Boomi said enterprises deploying AI agents faced a common challenge: while agents perform well in pilots, they struggle to scale due to inconsistent access to trusted context, recollection, and real-time business data. 

“Lack of governance, auditability, and operational control drives up compute costs while diminishing productivity and revenue,” it said. “This collaboration directly addresses the data activation challenge: the reality that AI only delivers real business value when agents can operate on action-ready data, with trust and control built in.”

“2026 is the year organisations move from AI experimentation to activation at scale,” said Ed Macosky, Chief Product and Technology Officer, Boomi. “The challenge isn’t building agents, it’s giving them the data, memory, and governance they need to operate in real enterprise environments. By partnering with Couchbase, we’re delivering a unified foundation that enables AI to run securely, efficiently, and at scale, with the trust and control our customers expect.”

Under the partnership, Boomi provides the active data foundation, enabling integration across hundreds of applications, APIs, and data sources, along with agent lifecycle management through Boomi Agentstudio and universal governance via the Agent Control Tower.

Couchbase delivers the operational data foundation, supporting real-time data access, trusted recollection, and semantic and hybrid retrieval within a single, high-performance platform.

“Together, these capabilities enable enterprises to build AI agents that can reason over real business data, retain context, and operate securely across the systems that run the business,” said Boomi.

The partnership will aim to deliver key outcomes for enterprises building and operating AI agents, including:

• Context at memory speed. The data, state, and context agents need – served from an in-memory architecture built for mission-critical workloads, so agents respond in milliseconds even as workloads scale.
• Agents that ground answers in real business data. Semantic retrieval at millisecond latency and billion-vector scale, sitting alongside the transactional systems of record that run the business.
• Agents that stay governed. Every memory query, retrieval, and action are observable and auditable through the Boomi Agent Control Tower, under the same governance customers already use for their broader agent portfolio.
• A single trusted fabric. Connectivity, runtime, governance, memory, and retrieval delivered as a co-engineered stack, not as a collection of point tools that customers have to stitch together and defend.
