Backstage with Lakebase, part 3
TL;DR
Lakebase enables isolated, autoscaling compute for Backstage, allowing FinOps analysts to run queries without affecting live applications. This innovation streamlines cost ownership visibility across teams.
✦ Why It Matters
Implement Lakebase to streamline your team's data governance and cost management processes today.
Key Takeaways
- Set up a native Postgres role for Lakehouse Federation authentication.
- Track compute costs for ephemeral branches to inform development decisions.
- Join operational and billing data for real-time insights.
- Eliminate orphaned branches to avoid unnecessary costs.
How It Works
Lakebase isolates compute workloads, allowing different applications to share the same data without contention. This enables FinOps analysts to run queries that combine operational data from Postgres with billing data from Unity Catalog seamlessly.
The use of Lakehouse Federation allows for real-time data integration, eliminating the need for complex ETL processes.
