SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Lakebase Provisioned provides a managed PostgreSQL database for transactional workloads within Databricks. This Skill consolidates patterns and best practices for deploying, securing, and integrating Lakebase Provisioned with Unity Catalog, reverse ETL, and Databricks Apps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Managed PostgreSQL instances with authentication and Unity Catalog integration
  • Reverse ETL from Unity Catalog Delta tables to Lakebase for OLTP workloads
  • Databricks Apps and memory integration for stateful apps
  • Use Case: Build transactional data services that support web and ML apps with low latency access to structured data in Lakebase.

Quick Start

  • Install the Databricks SDK and authenticate
  • Create a Lakebase Provisioned instance (e.g., my-lakebase-instance)
  • Generate an OAuth token for database access and connect to the read_write_dns endpoint
  • Register the database in Unity Catalog and configure app integrations as needed

FAQPage Schema
How do I deploy a managed PostgreSQL database for OLTP workloads on Databricks?

You can deploy a managed PostgreSQL database for OLTP workloads on Databricks using Lakebase Provisioned. It provides a fast, secure instance that you create, authenticate to via OAuth, and connect to using the read_write_dns endpoint.

Does Lakebase Provisioned work with Unity Catalog?

Yes, Lakebase Provisioned integrates with Unity Catalog. After creating your database instance and generating an OAuth token, you can register the database directly in Unity Catalog to manage and secure your transactional data.

What is reverse ETL from Unity Catalog to Lakebase and when do I need it?

Reverse ETL from Unity Catalog to Lakebase is the process of moving data from Delta tables into a PostgreSQL OLTP database. You need it to support low latency access to structured data for web and ML applications.

How do I connect to a Lakebase Provisioned instance after creation?

To connect to a Lakebase Provisioned instance, you first generate an OAuth token for database access. You then use this token to authenticate and connect your applications to the provided read_write_dns endpoint.

Can I build stateful web applications using Databricks Apps and Lakebase?

Yes, you can build stateful web applications using Databricks Apps integrated with Lakebase Provisioned. This setup uses the managed PostgreSQL database to provide the low latency structured data access required for stateful app memory.

What are the prerequisites for setting up Lakebase Provisioned on Databricks?

Prerequisites for setting up Lakebase Provisioned include having access to Databricks, installing the Databricks SDK for authentication, and configuring OAuth-based authentication to securely access your managed PostgreSQL instance.
