An interesting thought experiment is that a service that can both be triggered by, and write to, the same persistent queue can call an LLM in each iteration and create a self-evolving agentic workflow. Much like a Scrapy spider can recursively find new things to crawl, an agent can recursively find new things to do.
SQL is a great language to express “choose something from a priority queue and do something with it” but if you try to think about predefining your entire computation DAG as a single query rather than many queries over time, you lose the loose asynchronous iteration that gives an agent the same grace you’d give to a real-life task assignment. And that grace is what makes agentic workflows powerful.
