Can a single database architecture satisfy both vibe-coded and large scale enterprise apps? The same approach makes small database ultra cheap to run and branch can also make a large one faster and easier to operate. We call this architecture Lakebase.

Introducing Smart Routing in Unity AI Gateway. Stop overpaying for AI. Smart Routing matches each coding task to the right model and harness based on what the task needs, so higher-cost models can differentiate on intelligence while lower-cost models differentiate on cost and performance. Match frontier quality and cut task costs by 30%+. databricks.com/blog/smart-ro…

👀 I am floored with how fast Databricks Lakebase Autoscaling starts/provisions. Going from the "New Project" button through to ready-to-query Postgres instance in seconds How much time do you spend waiting on databases to provision? 🤔 lnkd.in/gyFfMfEW

I am super excited to announce that we have agreed to acquire Neon, a developer-centric serverless Postgres company. The Neon team engineered a new database architecture that offers speed, elastic scaling, and branching and forking. The capabilities that make Neon great for developers are also great for AI agents. Together, we'll deliver an open, serverless database foundation for developers and AI agents. databricks.com/company/newsr…

🔥 You can now publish and refresh #PowerBI Semantic models directly from Databricks Workflows. This makes it super simple to make Unity Catalog datasets available in Power BI and keep those Power BI models fresh when your data changes! databricks.com/blog/announci…

Lots of good stuff here. Databricks is the enterprise standard/core. Enterprises aren't moving away from it to Fabric, but when spoked use-cases/departments/teams are interested in using Fabric, there are a number of 💪 patterns that unlock them without compromising their core
This is the ULTIMATE Data Strategy!!! Databricks and Microsoft Fabric tag-team for the Intercontinental Belt is the hands-down winner and champion! Not only is this a huge winner for any company, but it is also SUPER easy to implement and integrate with the new Databricks mirroring capabilities in Fabric. OneLake makes this all a dream come true. #MicrosoftFabric #PowerBI #DataEngineering youtu.be/hzSq-36OrM0

Trino joins (trino.io/docs/current/releas…) Snowflake and Dremio as being able to read Unity Catalog (UC) managed Uniform tables via UC's Iceberg REST Catalog API. Lots of great movement in the ecosystem allowing UC tables to be consumed downstream by any Delta or Iceberg client. 💪

Replicating the data in your cloud data warehouse to a cloud object store so you can do BI on it feels.... awkward
