Summary
Lakebase's LTAP design makes the data lake the database's primary storage rather than an expensive replica maintained through logical replication pipelines. By pairing a single Delta or Iceberg table with Postgres caches and pageservers, point lookups read heap pages while scans read Parquet, ensuring analytical queries always see consistent snapshots that include commits not yet in the lake.
