Databricks Launches Lakebase: a New Class of Operational Database for AI Apps and Agents
apps
SAN FRANCISCO, June 11, 2025 /CNW/ -- Data + AI Summit-- Databricks, the Data and AI company, today announced the launch of Lakebase, a first-of-its-kind fully-managed Postgres database built for AI. With Lakebase, Databricks adds an operational database layer to the company's Data Intelligence Platform. Now, developers and enterprises can build data applications and AI agents faster and more easily on a single multi-cloud platform. Lakebase is now available in Public Preview.
Operational databases (OLTP) are a $100-billion-plus market that underpin every application. However, they are based on decades-old architecture designed for slowly changing apps, making them difficult to manage, expensive and prone to vendor lock-in. AI is introducing a new set of requirements. Now, every data application, agent, recommendation and automated workflow needs fast, reliable data at the speed and scale of AI agents. This also requires that operational and analytical systems converge to reduce latency between AI systems and to provide enterprises with current information to make real-time decisions. The new Lakebase, powered by Neon technology, brings operational data to the lakehouse (storing data in low-cost lakes) with continuous autoscaling of compute to support agent workloads and unifies operational and analytical data. Now developers can build faster, scale effortlessly and deliver the next generation of intelligent applications.
"We've spent the past few years helping enterprises build AI apps and agents that can reason on their proprietary data with the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform," said Ali Ghodsi, Co-founder and CEO of Databricks. "Now, with Lakebase, we're creating a new category in the database market: a modern Postgres database, deeply integrated with the lakehouse and today's development stacks. As AI agents reshape how businesses operate, Fortune 500 companies are ready to replace outdated systems. With Lakebase, we're giving them a database built for the demands of the AI era."
Lakebase: The 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. Key benefits of Lakebase include:
Separated compute and storage: Lakebase is built on Neon technology, with separated compute and storage for independent scaling. Its cloud-native architecture supports low latency (<10 ms), high concurrency (>10K QPS) and high availability transactional needs.
Built on open source: Postgres is widely used by developers and has seen rapid adoption over the last few years. The familiar, open source engine has a rich ecosystem of community extensions and partners and is ideal for workflows built on agents, as all frontier LLMs have been trained on the vast amount of information on the database system.
Built for AI: Launch in under a second, and only pay for what you use. Additionally, Lakebase's unique branching capability enables low-risk development by creating copy-on-write database clones to assist both developer testing and agent-based development.
Integrated with the lakehouse. Automatically sync data to and from lakehouse tables. Lakebase also provides an online feature store for model serving and is integrated with Databricks Apps and Unity Catalog.
Enterprise ready. Fully managed by Databricks, Lakebase is based on hardened compute infrastructure and encrypted data at rest, supports high availability, point-in-time recovery and integrates with Databricks enterprise features from network security to compliance.
Lakebase Momentum
Digital leaders are already seeing the value of unifying operational and analytical workloads on a single platform, with hundreds of enterprises already in the Private Preview. Lakebase can be used across industries to serve personalized product recommendations, create shopping experiences powered by agents, manage clinical trial workflows and more.
"At Heineken, our goal is to become the best-connected brewer. To do that, we needed a way to unify all of our datasets to accelerate the path from data to value. Databricks has long been our foundation for analytics, creating insights such as product recommendations and supply chain enhancements. Our analytical data platform is now evolving to be an operational AI data platform and needs to deliver those insights to applications at low latency." — Jelle Van Etten, Head of Global Data Platform at Heineken.
"Lakebase removes the operational burden of managing transactional databases. Our customers can focus on building applications instead of worrying about provisioning, tuning and scaling." — Anjan Kundavaram, Chief Product Officer at Fivetran.
"Our research shows that the data and insights from analytical processes are the most critical data to enterprises' success. In order to act on that information, they must be able to incorporate it into operational processes via their business applications. These two worlds are no longer separate. By offering a Postgres-compatible, lakehouse-integrated system designed specifically for AI-native and analytical workloads, Databricks is giving customers a unified, developer-friendly stack that reduces complexity and accelerates innovation. This combination will help enterprises maximize the value they derive across their entire data estate — from storage to AI-enabled application deployment." — David Menninger, Executive Director, ISG Software Research.
Partner Ecosystem
A strong partner network helps Lakebase customers work with their System Integrators and use existing enterprise tools for data integration, business intelligence, and governance. We're excited to have the following launch partners on board: Accenture, Airbyte, Alation, Anomalo, Atlan, Boomi, Cdata, Celebal Technologies, Cloudflare, Collibra, Confluent, Dataiku, dbt Labs, Deloitte, EPAM, Fivetran, Hightouch, Immuta, Informatica, Lovable, Monte Carlo, Omni, Posit, Qlik, Redis, Retool, Sigma, Snowplow, Spotfire, Striim, Superblocks, ThoughtSpot and Tredence.

About the El Quevar Project The El Quevar Project is located in Salta, Argentina and spans an area of 57,000 hectares. The property remains underexplored with less than 3% of the area covered with comprehensive exploration work. The property boasts exceptional infrastructure with over 60 km of internal roads, a fully owned, fully operational camp for 100 workers with multiple support buildings, and a railroad, gas pipeline and service road just 3 km from camp, while a high–voltage transmission line lies approximately 20 km from the exploration area. The robust infrastructure associated with the project provides a cost-effective platform to de–risk and accelerate future drilling and development. The foundational Mineral Resource Estimate of the Yaxtché deposit boasts an indicated mineral resource of 45.3 million ounces of silver from 2.93 million tonnes grading 482 g/t Ag, and an inferred resource of 4.1 million ounces from 0.31 million tonnes grading 417 g/t Ag (1). The mineral resource area remains open at depth and in multiple directions, particularly to the southeast and northwest. One of the objectives of the 2025 Winter Drilling Program is to specifically target and expand these high-grade Yaxtché zones. The mineralization at the Yaxtché deposit is defined as a silver rich, high to intermediate-sulphidation epithermal system with associated gold. Mineralization is controlled by NW-SE and NE-SW fault structures and is mainly hosted in brecciated zones and dacite domes. Silver minerals at Yaxtché consist of complex silver sulphides, sulphosalts and native silver. These minerals are found within silicified breccias, commonly appearing as veinlets, stockworks, disseminations, and breccia fillings. About Argenta Silver Corp.

Bybit & Block Scholes Report: Markets Surge Past $4 Trillion as Regulatory Wins Drive Record Highs
DUBAI, UAE, July 25, 2025 /CNW/ -- Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has released its latest crypto derivatives analytics report with Block Scholes, diving into a momentous "Crypto Week" in bullish territories. Crypto's total market cap exceeded $4 trillion for the first time, driven by a combination of legislative advancements in the US and investor enthusiasm from BTC to altcoins. Altcoins Regained Favor: Following BTC's initial surge, traders' growing risk appetite started to spill over to altcoins. With ETH and SOL breaking barrier levels in the decisive week, widespread gains across the altcoin space uplifted the total crypto market cap to a historic high. This altcoin rally contributed to BTC dominance falling below 60% as investors diversified across the digital asset spectrum. ETH Calls Over Puts: ETH options trading has become heavily skewed toward bullish positions, with call options dominating both volume and open interest metrics. The volatility term structure has compressed to a tight 64-65% range, while call skew peaked at 11%, reflecting strong directional conviction among institutional traders. ETH Funding Rates Are Remarkably Strong: ETH spot price had more than doubled since its $1,500 level in April, bolstered by consistent positive inflows to ETH Spot ETFs and rising corporate interest in building ETH treasuries. ETH funding rates follow the broader positive trend of the market.
