A fully managed Postgres database built to unify analysis and operations for intelligent
App
San Francisco, June 11, 2025 / prnewswire/ – Data + AI Summit – Databricks, a data and AI company, today announced the launch of Lakebase, the first fully managed Postgres database built for AI. With Lakebase, Databricks adds a production database layer to your company's data intelligence platform. Today, developers and businesses can build data applications and AI agents faster and easier on a single multi-cloud platform. LakeBase is now available in public preview.
The operational database (OLTP) is a $100 billion– The Plus Market that supports all applications. However, it is based on a decades-old architecture designed to slowly change apps, making it difficult to manage, expensive, and more likely to cause vendor lock-in. AI is introducing a new set of requirements. Today, all data applications, agents, recommendations, and automated workflows require fast and reliable data at the speed and scale of AI agents. This also requires convergence of operational and analytical systems to reduce latency between AI systems and provide businesses with current information to make real-time decisions. Powered by Neon Technology, the new Lakebase brings operational data to Lakehouse (storing data in low-cost lakes) and integrates operational and analytics data with continuous automation of computing to support agent workloads. Nowadays, developers can build faster, scale more effortlessly, and deliver the next generation of intelligent applications.
“For the past few years, businesses have helped them build AI apps and agents that can infer their own data on the DataBricks Data Intelligence platform,” he said. Ali Ghodsico-founder and CEO of Databricks. “We are currently using Lakebase to create new categories in the database market: a modern post-gress database that is deeply integrated with Lakehouse and today's development stack. As AI agents reshape the way companies operate, Fortune 500 companies are ready to replace their old systems.
LakeBase: Operational database for the AI era
Lakebase is designed for the next era of application development and is intended to enable developers and AI agents. The main benefits of Lake Base are:
- Separate calculations and storage: Lakebase is built on Neon technology with isolated calculations and storage for independent scaling. Its cloud-native architecture has a low latency (<10ミリ秒）、高い並行性をサポートしています（>10k QPS) and High Availability Transaction Needs.
- Built in open source: Postgres is widely used by developers and has been adopting it rapidly over the last few years. The familiar open source engine features a community expansion and a rich ecosystem of partners, and every frontier LLM is trained on a huge amount of information about database systems, making it ideal for workflows built on agents.
- Building for AI: Start in under 1 second and pay only for what you want to use. Additionally, LakeBase's unique branching capabilities enable low-risk development by creating copy-on-warit database clones to assist in both developer testing and agent-based development.
- Integrated with Lakehouse. Automatically synchronizes data to and from the Lakehouse table. LakeBase also offers an online feature store for model servings, and is integrated into the DataBricks app and Unity catalog.
- Enterprise preparation. Fully managed by Databricks, LakeBase is based on hardened computing infrastructure and resting encrypted data, supporting high availability, point-in-time recovery, and integrates with DataBricks enterprise capabilities from network security to compliance.
Lake base momentum
Digital leaders already see the value of unifying operational and analytics workloads on a single platform, with hundreds of companies already in private previews. Use LakeBase across the industry to provide personalized product recommendations, create agent-powered shopping experiences, manage clinical trial workflows, and more.
“At Heineken, our goal is to be the most connected brewer. To do that, we needed a way to integrate all our datasets and accelerate the path from data to value. Data Abrick was the basis for our analysis, creating insights such as product recommendations and supply chain expansion. — Jerre van EttenHead of Heineken's Global Data Platform.
“Lakebase removes the operational burden of managing transactional databases. Customers can focus on building applications rather than worrying about provisioning, tuning and scaling.” – Anjan Kundavaram, Chief Product Officer of Fivetlan.
“Our research shows that data and insights from the analytical process are the most important data for a company's success. To act on that information, it must be able to be incorporated into the operational process through business applications. These two worlds are no longer separated. A developer-friendly stack that reduces complexity and accelerates this combination helps enterprises maximize the value derived from storage to AI-enabled applications deployment. — David MenningerExecutive Director of ISG Software Research.
