What databricks-lakebase does

The skill covers Lakebase Autoscaling through the databricks postgres CLI. It guides project and branch management, compute scaling, PostgreSQL connections, and use of the Data API. It also covers syncing Unity Catalog tables into Postgres and integrating Lakebase with Databricks Apps.

You need Databricks CLI version 0.294.0 or later. For CLI basics, authentication, and profile selection, the skill points to databricks-core. It recommends checking CLI help before running commands, rather than guessing their syntax. Lakebase commands use the postgres group, so instructions written for the retired Provisioned tier may not apply.

What it helps with

  • create a Lakebase project and inspect its branches
  • connect an app to Databricks-hosted PostgreSQL
  • adjust compute capacity and configure scale-to-zero
  • sync Unity Catalog tables into Postgres
  • make HTTP CRUD requests through the Data API

Example prompts for the agent

  • Help me create a Lakebase project and check its branches and endpoints.
  • Show me how to connect this app to a Lakebase PostgreSQL database.
  • Explain how to sync a Unity Catalog table into Postgres.
