Databricks has introduced Lakebase, a serverless Postgres database designed to overcome the limitations of traditional monolithic database architectures. By externalizing write-ahead logs (WAL) and data files into independent cloud services, Lakebase aims to provide enhanced scalability, durability, and simplified high availability. The system further evolves into LTAP (Long-Term Analytics Platform), which enables both transactional and analytical workloads to operate on a single, unified copy of data in open columnar formats, eliminating the need for separate CDC pipelines or data duplication.
