Overview

AISummary of one article

Databricks introduces database branching in Lakebase Postgres, letting each coding agent work in its own isolated database branch created in under a second regardless of size.

Branches use copy-on-write storage, consuming extra space only as they diverge, and scale to zero when idle so unused branches incur no compute cost. Schema changes are tracked in code and promoted to the parent branch through migrations rather than merged back, and ephemeral branches are created per pull request for testing.
