From Data Platform to App Platform: Building Production Apps on Lakebase

Your Lakehouse handles analytics beautifully. But the moment someone needs low-latency reads, transactional writes, or an app serving layer, you're stitching together external databases and sync pipelines. Lakebase offers a different path — this session shows you how to build on it.A Databricks MVP will walk through practical patterns for building production apps where Lakebase serves as the operational layer, fully integrated with Unity Catalog governance and Lakehouse analytics. We'll cover architecture patterns, the interplay between Lakebase and Databricks Apps, latency and scaling considerations, and the honest gaps practitioners need to plan around.You'll leave with architecture patterns, design decisions, and a realistic assessment of production readiness.
