Databricks Revolutionizes Data and AI Landscape with New Operational Database, Free Education, and No-Code Pipelines

San Francisco, CA – June 12, 2025 – Databricks, the pioneering Data and AI company, today unveiled a suite of transformative innovations at its Data + AI Summit, setting a new benchmark for how enterprises and individuals interact with data and artificial intelligence. The announcements include the launch of Lakebase, a groundbreaking operational database built for AI; a significant $100 million investment in global data and AI education coupled with the Databricks Free Edition; and the introduction of Lakeflow Designer, empowering data analysts to build production-grade pipelines without coding. These advancements underscore Databricks’ commitment to democratizing data and AI, accelerating innovation, and closing the critical talent gap in the industry.

Databricks Unveils Lakebase: A New Class of Operational Database for AI Apps and Agents

What is it?

Databricks announced the launch of Lakebase, a first-of-its-kind fully-managed Postgres database built for AI. This new operational database layer seamlessly integrates into the company’s Data Intelligence Platform, allowing developers and enterprises to build data applications and AI agents faster and more easily on a single multi-cloud platform. Lakebase is powered by Neon technology and is designed to unify analytics and operations by bringing operational data to the lakehouse, continuously autoscaling compute to support demanding agent workloads.

When is the Launch Planned?

Lakebase is now available in Public Preview, marking a significant step towards its full availability.

Who Introduced?

Ali Ghodsi, Co-founder and CEO of Databricks, introduced Lakebase, stating, “We’ve spent the past few years helping enterprises build AI apps and agents that can reason on their proprietary data with the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. Now, with Lakebase, we’re creating a new category in the database market: a modern Postgres database, deeply integrated with the lakehouse and today’s development stacks.”

Why Does This Matter? Motivation: The Driving Forces Behind

Operational databases (OLTP) represent a $100-billion-plus market, yet their decades-old architecture struggles with the demands of modern, rapidly changing applications. They are often difficult to manage, expensive, and prone to vendor lock-in. AI introduces a new set of requirements: every data application, agent, recommendation, and automated workflow needs fast, reliable data at the speed and scale of AI agents. This necessitates the convergence of operational and analytical systems to reduce latency and provide real-time information for decision-making. Fortune 500 companies are ready to replace outdated systems, and Lakebase offers a solution built for the demands of the AI era.

Business Strategies

The launch of Lakebase is a strategic move to create a new category in the database market, emphasizing a modern Postgres database deeply integrated with the lakehouse and today’s development stacks. This strategy aims to empower developers to build faster, scale effortlessly, and deliver the next generation of intelligent applications, directly addressing the evolving needs of the AI era.

Key benefits of Lakebase include:

Separated compute and storage: Built on Neon technology, it offers independent scaling, low latency (<10 ms), high concurrency (>10K QPS), and high availability transactional needs.

Built on open source: Leveraging widely adopted Postgres with its rich ecosystem, ideal for workflows built on agents as all frontier LLMs have been trained on vast database system information.

Built for AI: Enables launch in under a second and pay-for-what-you-use pricing. Its unique branching capability allows low-risk development by creating copy-on-write database clones for developer testing and agent-based development.

Integrated with the lakehouse: Provides automatic data sync to and from lakehouse tables, an online feature store for model serving, and integration with Databricks Apps and Unity Catalog.

Enterprise ready: Fully managed by Databricks, based on hardened compute infrastructure, encrypted data at rest, and supports high availability, point-in-time recovery, and integration with Databricks enterprise features.

Lakebase Momentum

Digital leaders are already experiencing the value, with hundreds of enterprises having participated in the Private Preview. “At Heineken, our goal is to become the best-connected brewer. To do that, we needed a way to unify all of our datasets to accelerate the path from data to value,” stated Jelle Van Etten, Head of Global Data Platform at Heineken. Anjan Kundavaram, Chief Product Officer at Fivetran, added, “Lakebase removes the operational burden of managing transactional databases. Our customers can focus on building applications instead of worrying about provisioning, tuning and scaling.” David Menninger, Executive Director, ISG Software Research, highlighted that “By offering a Postgres-compatible, lakehouse-integrated system designed specifically for AI-native and analytical workloads, Databricks is giving customers a unified, developer-friendly stack that reduces complexity and accelerates innovation.”

Partner Ecosystem

A robust partner network, including Accenture, Airbyte, Alation, Fivetran, and many others, supports Lakebase customers in data integration, business intelligence, and governance.

I love you characters who try so hard to avoid becoming one specific thing that they end up becoming something arguably worse. I love you characters with backwards development. I love you characters whose ideals dissolve over time. I love you characters who start out bright-eyed and end their stories with several important pieces missing.

fem reader, fluff, hurt/comfort, reader gets into a fight, this fits into the weirdo! shouto ficlet i wrote, older bro touya au, shouto's scar, kindaaa non neurotypical shouto hinted if you squint lol, shouto n reader are lil misfits, lemme know if i missed sum else !

"can i help you, young man ?"

"i hurt my knee."

you're laying in the nurses office when a familiar voice hits your ears.

"oh really ?" no verbal response but you assume there's a nod because the nurse continues "what happened ?" she sounds skeptical.

"i fell." the person, a boy, replies. the nurse sighs, complaining to herself about kids these days coming to the nurses office for every little thing. you're still pretending to be asleep, not wanting to go back to class yet because you know your classmates won't leave you alone. your face is turned away as you hear the office door shut and soon after there's shuffling in the bed next to you.

your eyes snap open and you turn to see a scarred boy looking right at you, blinking slowly.

"shouto !"

"hi." he answers simply. unmoving, he lays on his stomach. after getting over your shock you copy him. "what're you doing here ?" you ask. your friend blinks in response.

"i hurt my knee."

you look at him incredulously "what are you really doing here ?"

shouto lays quietly simply staring at you. he has a habit of doing that, you've heard your classmates call it weird, but you like when he looks at you. his eyes are pretty. his gaze trails off towards the sheets, "i wanted to come see you." he admits. your eyes widen and you feel your ears burn. shouto doesn't seem affected by his confession, his face as deadpan as it usually is.

"everyone is talking about you in class." your nose scrunches up at his words, huffing with a scowl. "what're they saying ?"

"that you won."

that makes your scowl shrink a bit. your eyebrows raise and you shuffle a bit on the bed and hum. shouto only stares. he isn't much of a talker. you've noticed it's because he just doesn't realise that you're supposed to keep making conversation when you're talking with someone. your classmate mahoro says it makes things awkward, but shouto has such kind eyes when he looks at you, you don't mind. and sometimes, you don't really feel like talking either.

"you didn't have to do that you know." is what he says after a while, you blink at him like you'd already forgotten and he continues. "you didn't have to push tanaka like that, it wasn't a big deal."

tanaka, just the mention of the boy's name is enough to make your scowl return full force.

he's one of your classmates that keeps making jokes that all his other friends laugh at that aren't even funny. he doesn't bother you much, but he's kind of a bully and he makes a face whenever you end up on his team for dodgeball. he makes sure you see it too.

you don't care about him much, because he doesn't bother you. but he bothers shouto. you think he does so because shouto doesn't care to confront him about it so he thinks he's stupid. but shouto's the smartest in your class. today though, he went too far and it made you mad, so you shoved him and he'd shoved you back and suddenly you were surrounded by a group of kids screaming in your ears. your face stung from where he'd hit you and then a teacher was pulling you away from him. then you'd ended up here.

shouto hadn't been coming to school for a bit a while ago and when he did come back he had a huge bandage over his left eye. you'd tried to ask him about it but he never told you. so you never pried, but you heard the (not so quiet) whispers from your classmates and shouto who never seemed like he cared, furrowed his brows and slightly clenched his fists underneath your shared desk whenever he'd hear them. and it got worse when he took the bandage off, revealing a big red blotchy scar.

shouto doesn't usually mind what people think, but he'd asked you if he looked ugly and you assured him that you thought he looked super cool. (you'd never seen his eyes so wide and shiny, so pretty.)

tanaka had disagreed with you though. he opened his big mouth and told shouto he looked better with his bandage on. and you'd snapped. you hated that stupid bandage because it'd make his usual face so gloomy. because you only got to see one of his kind eyes and you loved looking at both.

and so, here you were.

"he had it comin', he made fun of you !" you scowl, shouto's brows furrow the slightest bit as well, mildly irritated. "but you got in trouble."

"well, he made fun of you !" you repeat. you both stay unmoving, laying on your stomach while the nurse is out on lunch break. shouto's lips move up into a pout and for the first time ever you hear him huff.

"i wasn't mad about it. i was fine." he insists, his eyes drift towards his fingers picking at his sheets. "you got hurt because of me, and i don't like that." he mumbles sadly. his cheek smushed against the hard pillow makes him look like a little puppy. you hear your heart in your ears.

"well, i didn't just do it for you," you try, "tanaka's always pickin' on everyone, so i taught him a lesson." you huff. you believed you sounded convincing, but shouto looks anything but convinced. others can't see it well, but you can.

"but everyone's gonna think you did it for me. and they're gonna call you weird again," shouto grips and pulls at the white sheets, you're worried they'll rip off and he'll get in trouble. "even though you're not."

you don't care, you'd been called weird plenty of times at your old school. but shouto's bothered for you and your heart beats in your ears "do you think i'm weird ?" shouto quickly shakes his head, as best he can in the position he's in. your chest feels warm and you smile.

"then i don't care what everyone thinks."

the sound of sheets crinkling stops, and shouto stares at you again. he sits up to instead go sit down on your bed. you bring your legs closer to yourself to make space for him.

"i still don't want you to get hurt, even if it's not just for me." his pretty eyes, one surrounded by red zero on you " i don't like it."

shouto never seemed picky to you. except when it came to his lunch (which was always cold soba) and the order in which he started his day at school (first he changes his shoes, then he takes off his jacket and then went to sit in his seat. exactly like this every day.)

he never told you he particularly liked or disliked anything, usually always shrugging. but he said he doesn't like seeing you hurt. it had made him panic when people started pushing him away to see the fight and he couldn't see you anymore. your classmates were talking about you and he didn't like it. the nurse stood in his way and he didn't like it because she kept him away from you for longer.

he does not like tanaka because he'd punched you in the cheek, your cheek that rises up like the sun when you smile at him.

i don't like when you get hurt, he says. i don't want you to hurt because of me, he thinks. you've got a bandaid on your cheek where you'd gotten punched, but you grin and your cheek rises like the sun, shouto hears his heart in his ears.

you hold out your pinky and promise him you won't do it anymore. holding onto your pinky is comfortable and even after promising he doesn't let go. not even when the nurse checks up on you and scolds you when you shamelessly tell her why you'd landed in her office. he doesn't let go in the hallways even when others are looking. they'll think you're weird for hanging out with him, but you told him you didn't care, and shouto feels like he's floating.

( he only lets go when you get to the principal's office. but he ignores the teacher who passed by and told him to get to class and wraps his pinky right back around yours when you walk back out. your smile is pretty like the sun.)

one time, touya-nii had called you weird, and touya-nii is always right. but this time shouto knows he's wrong. because your smile doesn't dim despite the bandaid on your cheek and you only look at him when you get back to class, despite the people calling for you, your pinky stays tightly wrapped around his, only moving so you can readjust and hold it better.

touya is clearly wrong, and shouto knows you're the nicest person in the world.

i hope the engineers at twitter know that i look at their chronically broken shoddy app to make myself feel better about my own code stability

I brought you sleepy crocobug a few weeks ago, now you get ✨SLEEPY HAWKBUG✨

cheers, cause I'm back in my crossguild arc!! (technically I never left, I just didn't make any art because I was busy - how many birthday artworks could I possibly have to make in three months? a lot...)

but anyway I think the dynamic of these two is way more subtle than any of the croc-ships, platonic or otherwise!

in my head they share a lot of habits and hobbies: they're both avid readers, take care of plants and value their physical appearance quite a bit (which is probably the most canon of them all, just look at their beard and hair respectively).

then comes the fact that they're both share the aspiration for being the "greatest" at something, even if Mihawk has already achieved it, and a history with a certain redhead.

basically, they have a lot to bond over once they actually learn how to communicate (I headcanon Crocodile as their mediator at first, speaking both of their "languages" until they figure out how the other ticks on their own)

okay yeah, that was hawkbug hours! I wish you an incredibly lovely next 24 hours!!

🤡 TERWILLIGER FILES — ADDENDUM: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN BATMAN TURNS ROBIN INTO THE JOKER A Blacksite Literature™ Transmission

---

Let me be clear while I can still spell my own name and not get hypnotized by Bob's operatic baritone echoing through my skull:

You don't understand what Robert Terwilliger is.

You think he's just some Frasier-voiced criminal mastermind with clown trauma. But he's not.

Bob Terwilliger is what happens when you take a man with the voice of Shakespeare, the IQ of Lex Luthor, and the rage of a neglected theater kid—and force him to eat pies for a living under a nicotine-stained clown with a gambling addiction.

This man was reading Voltaire while getting shot out of a cannon. That’s not character building. That’s how you get an origin story.

⚠️ Krusty Didn’t Hire a Sidekick. He Created a Nemesis.

Imagine Batman making Robin dress like a chicken, publicly humiliating him for ratings, and then acting surprised when Robin joins the League of Shadows and starts quoting Nietzsche mid-murder spree.

That’s Bob.

He didn’t start evil. He was forged in a fire of seltzer bottles and unpaid therapy. He wasn’t born with a vendetta. He was given one… with a laugh track.

🎭 You’re Laughing, but He’s Monologuing.

Bob doesn’t just try to kill people. He plans it like a composer writing a symphony in blood. He leaves clues. He drops literary references. He recites entire Gilbert and Sullivan operas mid-murder attempt.

That’s not a killer. That’s a thesis paper with a vendetta and good diction.

🚨 Bart Isn’t Just a Victim. He’s the Catalyst.

Bart didn’t just ruin Bob’s schemes. He validated them.

Every time Bob got close to peace, the universe served him another slice of Simpson-brand chaos.

You think Bob hates Bart? No. Bob became Bob because of Bart.

He is what happens when Batman forgets to save Robin from the dark.

📚 Terwilliger Lore Is Basically Shakespeare with Blood and Rakes

You ever watch a man step on one rake? Funny.

You ever watch him step on sixteen rakes in a row while monologuing about revenge and democracy? That’s not a gag. That’s a Greek tragedy in clown shoes.

Bob is Othello in clown makeup. He’s Hamlet with a vendetta and a blowtorch. He’s the only villain in history who could quote Whitman, attempt murder, win an Emmy, and still get mispronounced by Ralph Wiggum.

🧠 You Want Redemption? Bob Gave You Redemption… and You Threw It Back

The man literally tried to settle down in Italy.

Crushed grapes. Ran for mayor. Found love. Raised a child.

Then the Simpsons showed up.

And like clockwork, Bob was reminded: > "Oh right, I’m not allowed to heal. I’m a punchline."

So he relapsed.

Because healing is hard. But falling into villainy with flair? That’s opera, baby.

🎤 Final Analysis:

Robert Terwilliger isn’t a villain. He’s the result of what happens when you break a gifted mind for laughs. When you hand a prodigy a banana cream pie and tell him, “Be funny, or be forgotten.”

He’s what happens when Batman turns Robin into the Joker… …then gets mad when the Joker starts writing sonnets about vengeance.

And Bart? Bart’s just the spotlight.

He didn’t make the monster. He just made sure we all saw it.

🍷 FIELD-TOAST STATUS: RAISED

To Robert Terwilliger: The thespian, the warlock, the academic with a vendetta. A man whose crimes were crimes of passion—and pronunciation.

And to Bart: The chaos engine who turned a pie-splattered intellectual into a blood-soaked aria.

God bless Springfield. And God help anyone who underestimates a villain with a library card.
