More software will be built in the next year than throughout the whole history of humanity. And every one of these new systems requires an database designed for AI.
It's why Databricks built Lakebase, a fully-managed, serverless Postgres database for AI apps and agents. At Data + AI Summit 2026, Nikita Shamgunov, VP, Engineering of Databricks, explained how the team re-architected Postgres and outlined the features that help Lakebase out perform industry rivals, including the first fully-managed cloud disaster recovery.
