How the lakebase architecture stays resilient to cloud failures
Summary
Lakebase's architecture is built for resilience to cloud failures, not patched for it, by using stateless Postgres compute on zone-redundant storage and separating hot-path control-plane operations. This approach, validated through chaos testing and per-database availability tracking, addresses the unique reliability demands of agent workloads that start tens of millions of databases daily.
