Lakehouse Real-Time

Lakehouse Real-Time (Lakehouse//RT) is a serverless SQL warehouse type for low-latency, high-concurrency workloads: sub-second SQL read queries on Unity Catalog managed tables in Delta Lake or Apache Iceberg format, materialized views, streaming tables and metric views, for serving analytical data to applications, operational analytics and dashboards with hundreds to thousands of concurrent users. It is created and permissioned like other SQL warehouses and accepts connections only through the Statement Execution API. In Beta since June 30, 2026: the Databricks account team enables it for an account and a workspace admin then turns on the Lakehouse RT preview. AI/BI dashboards work with it since October 15, 2026, and since November 3, 2026 it reads tables protected by row filters, column masks and ABAC policies.
