Lakebase For Dummies

Build, ship and run ideas faster

For decades, databases bundled compute and storage. This made provisioning new databases slow and locked data into proprietary formats. Today, teams ship code in seconds and build apps, agents and AI products faster than ever.

Lakebase meets them where they are. It’s a new category of serverless Postgres database with separate compute and storage, built to integrate seamlessly with your lakehouse. This means you can spin up databases almost instantly, branch them like code and scale to zero when you’re done. 

Read Lakebase For Dummies for an introduction and learn:

• Why traditional databases break down under app and agent workloads
• How separating compute from storage changes cost, speed and reliability
• What instant branching and cloning unlock for development teams
• How the lakebase architecture fits alongside your lakehouse for unified transactional and analytical work
• What to look for when evaluating Databricks Lakebase for your stack
