Lakebase Postgres is now generally available on Google Cloud
Lakebase Postgres, Databricks' fully managed serverless Postgres database, is now generally available on Google Cloud, with autoscaling, scale to zero, instant branching, and point-in-time recovery built in. Because operational and analytical data share the same storage foundation, analytics, apps, and agents run on one platform without fragile pipelines to maintain.
Lakebase branching for CI/CD: lessons from 100 PR databases
Snorkel AI's CI/CD pipeline now gives every open pull request its own Lakebase Postgres branch, a full read/write copy of production data that's ready in under a minute rather than the 30+ minutes that previously made per-PR copies impractical. Because branches are copy-on-write, 100 concurrent PR databases on a ~2.5 TB production dataset add storage only for what each one changes, with TTL expiration cleaning up automatically and private connectivity plus Okta SSO keeping the setup governed.
Databricks and SAP unleash end-to-end data & AI capabilities to level up enterprise AI transformation

Task-level AI speeds up document processing and KYC screening, but wealth management client onboarding still stalls when evidence, case state, and decisions are fragmented across systems. The fix is governed case context, a shared, versioned view of each case's evidence, exceptions, and decision history, which supervised AI agents on the Databricks Data + AI Platform use with human reviewers to coordinate the full journey with traceability, and whose impact you can measure through cycle time, manual touches, and approval-to-funding time.
