## AI overview

DAT uses Neon and Postgres to process millions of field-staff messages each month from WhatsApp, Telegram, and WeChat. The system persists messages, audit records, and background jobs while supporting real-time monitoring through Retool dashboards, autoscaling, multi-region operation, read replicas, and blob storage for streamed audit logs.
