This page introduces Lakebase Provisioned, a fully managed Postgres OLTP database engine, integrated into the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. A database instance is a type of Azure Databricks compute that provides the storage and compute for running a Postgres server that manages multiple databases.

Overview

An online transaction processing (OLTP) database is a specialized type of database system designed to efficiently handle high volumes of real-time transactional data. Lakebase allows you to create an OLTP database on Azure Databricks, and integrate OLTP workloads with your Lakehouse. This OLTP database enables you to create and manage databases stored in Databricks-managed storage.

Using an OLTP database in conjunction with the Azure Databricks platform significantly reduces application complexity. Lakebase is well integrated with Databricks Feature Store, SQL warehouses, and Databricks Apps. Using sync tables provides a simple and performant way to sync data between OLTP and online analytical processing (OLAP) workloads.
