Introducing Lakebase - Databricks Co-founder & Chief Architect Reynold Xin
Description
Introducing Lakebase, the first fully-managed, multicloud, Postgres-compatible transactional database engine designed for developers and AI agents. Many organizations find that their data layer doesn't scale with their AI applications, leading to an explosion of pipelines that must be managed at all integration points. Lakebase combines the familiarity of Postgres with the scalability of the lakehouse and the agility of Neon's database branching technology. The result is a fundamentally better way to build data-driven applications and AI agents. 00:00 Ali Ghodsi introduces Reynold Xin 00:32 The evolution of analytics systems 01:17 OLTP databases are stuck in the past 04:12 Introducing Lakebase 04:47 Lakebase is built on open source Postgres 05:19 Separation of storage and compute 07:36 Databricks + Neon 08:42 Serverless auto-scalling with Lakebase 09:32 Branching with Lakebase 12:37 What can you do with Lakebase? 13:45 Lakebase Demo 18:05 Lakebase Private Preview customers and launch partners Presenters: Reynold Xin, Co-Founder and Chief Architect, Databricks Holly Smith, Staff Developer Advocate, Databricks See all the new products announced at Data + AI Summit: https…
