Serverless PostgreSQL decouples compute and storage, allowing each to scale independently and automatically based on demand. This model eliminates manual provisioning and charges only for active usage, unlike traditional PostgreSQL which requires pre-provisioning and can lead to overspending on idle capacity. While serverless Postgres is ideal for unpredictable workloads, its cold start latency and variable pricing make it less suitable for always-on, latency-sensitive applications. A newer 'lakebase' architecture builds upon serverless Postgres to unify transactional and analytical workloads on a single platform, reducing data duplication and simplifying access for AI and real-time applications.
