Lakebase Postgres branch-based restores for fast recovery at scale
Databricks introduced branch-based restores for Lakebase Postgres, describing the feature as a way to achieve fast recovery at scale. According to the announcement, restores in managed OLTP have always been painfully slow and they get slower as scale increases.
The company framed the release around that problem, positioning branch-based restores as the mechanism for recovery. Beyond the claim that restores are slow and degrade with scale, and that branching addresses this, no further technical details, availability dates, pricing, or performance figures were included in the information available.
