Creating checkpoints by gaslighting a Postgres database
Ryan welcomes Bryan Clark, director of product for Lakebase at Databricks, to discuss what happens when AI agents become the primary creators and users of databases; why agents are “sloppy” about cleaning up infrastructure; and how database branching, scale-to-zero, and centralized access control can help teams keep up with agent-driven development.
Episode notes:
Databricks Lakebase is a Postgres-compatible operational database built around fast branching, separated compute and storage, and tight integration with the Databricks lakehouse.
