External Apps with Lakebase: SDKs and Production Patterns

Connects apps running outside Databricks to Lakebase. Following the lecture-demo pattern, learners authenticate an external app with a service principal, compare the SDK-native, manual-HTTP, and Data API access paths, and build a production connection manager with pooling, token refresh, and retry on scale-to-zero wake-up.
