Databricks has introduced an LTAP (Lake Transactional/Analytical Processing) architecture for Lakebase Postgres, designed to significantly speed up bulk data loading operations. This new architecture offloads heavy tasks like loading terabytes of data from the primary Lakebase Postgres compute to distributed engines such as Apache Spark. By enabling Spark to build Postgres pages and indexes in parallel and write directly to storage, data loads can be up to 147 times faster, while ensuring that live OLTP queries remain unaffected and performance is maintained.
