Why PostgreSQL for this
RPA earns its place when there is genuinely no API. Where an API exists, a proper integration is cheaper to run and far less fragile.
PostgreSQL is strongest at it handles far more workload than teams expect, with one operational model. For rpa & screen automation that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.
The honest trade-off: genuine analytical workloads past a certain scale belong in a warehouse. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. Integration comes before intelligence. A model that cannot reach your systems of record is a demo with good manners.
Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.

Questions
Is RPA obsolete now that we have AI agents?
No, but its scope has narrowed. RPA is right where there is no API and the interface is stable. Everywhere else, integration or agentic automation is more durable.
Why did our last RPA project fail?
Usually one of two reasons, the process changed faster than the bot could be maintained, or a process was automated that should have been fixed first.
Which platform do you use?
UiPath, Automation Anywhere or Power Automate, and sometimes a lighter custom approach when licence cost outweighs the benefit.
Alternatives for rpa & screen automation
Same capability, different stack. Each page states its own trade-off.
