Databricks Lakebase
This covers Databricks' serverless Postgres offering, which went all-in on autoscaling as the default in March 2026. The skill handles project lifecycle, copy-on-write branching with TTLs, compute scaling from 0.5 to 112 CUs with scale-to-zero, and the Data API for HTTP CRUD. It also covers Lakebase synced tables, which let you pull Unity Catalog Delta tables into Postgres. Useful if you're building OLTP workloads on Databricks or need transactional storage alongside your lakehouse. The branching model is legitimately clever for testing migrations or spinning up ephemeral environments. One heads up: this is the new `databricks postgres` CLI group, not the older `databricks database` commands for provisioned instances.

Lakebase Postgres Autoscaling
FIRST: Use the parent databricks-core skill for CLI basics, authentication, and profile selection.
Lakebase is Databricks' serverless Postgres-compatible database, available on AWS and Azure (GA) and on GCP (Beta). It provides fully managed OLTP storage with autoscaling, branching, and scale-to-zero.
Regions: Lakebase runs only in the commercial regions listed in Region availability (check the page for the user's cloud). It isn't available on AWS GovCloud, and the Azure list has no Azure Government or Azure China regions. If the workspace is in one of these clouds or an unlisted region, tell the user that Lakebase isn't available there. Don't try to create a project.
