Wisconsin Databricks User Group: LakeBase: Operational OLTP Database

Getting LakeBase Up and Running: Walk through spinning up a fully managed Postgres instance on Databricks—show the one-click setup, workspace integration, and how you can jump straight into Databricks SQL (and pgAdmin) for instant queries.

Unity Catalog ↔ LakeBase Sync: Demonstrate two-way synchronization—pull Delta Lake tables into Postgres with optional indexes, then push updated feature or model data back into Unity Catalog for consistent, governed analytics.

Deep Integration with Databricks Apps: Highlight how LakeBase plugs directly into Databricks Apps to power fast, secure operational applications—feature serving, state management, and real-time insights all under one roof.

Upcoming Features & Q&A: Discuss upcoming features such as database branching for safe schema experiments, and autoscaling compute. Then, open the floor for questions on operationalizing LakeBase in your stack.
