Let AI Work on Your Database: Safe AI-Driven Development with Database Branches

AI coding agents have drastically improved the way we work in so many areas of software development, but because LLMs are inherently non-deterministic, many developers are still hesitant to let AI agents touch their databases because of the risk of destructive actions. In this talk, we’ll show how to safely leverage AI in real workflows using Lakebase’s branching capabilities. With the tools and strategies we’ll discuss, you will be able to create isolated code and data environments that enable AI coding agents to build in parallel, experiment safely, and iterate faster, without risking production data. By the end of this talk, attendees will walk away with practical patterns to integrate AI into their development workflows with confidence.
