Branching databases like code: a CI/CD pattern for Lakebase, in production at Glaspoort
Databricks Lakebase enables Git-style database branching for CI/CD data workflows in production
Databricks is promoting a CI/CD pattern for its Lakebase product that allows databases to be branched and merged like code, validated in production at Glaspoort, a Dutch fiber infrastructure operator. This represents a maturation of the lakehouse paradigm toward software engineering discipline for data pipelines. While noteworthy for data engineering practitioners, it is an incremental product validation story rather than a transformative AI industry signal.
