databricks-lakebase-autoscale

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a managed PostgreSQL database service on Databricks that automatically scales compute resources, offers branching for development workflows, and supports scale-to-zero for cost savings.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Autoscaling Compute: Dynamically adjusts PostgreSQL compute power (0.5-112 CU) based on load.
• Branching: Create isolated database environments similar to Git branches for safe development and testing.
• Scale-to-Zero: Suspends compute after inactivity to reduce costs, with automatic wake-up on connection.
• Reverse ETL: Sync data from Delta Lake tables into PostgreSQL.
• Use Case: Develop and deploy applications requiring a scalable, cost-effective PostgreSQL database, manage multiple environments with branching, and integrate data from your Databricks Lakehouse.

Quick Start

Use the databricks-lakebase-autoscale skill to create a new project named 'my-app' with PostgreSQL version 17.
