Lakebase architecture clarifies the misunderstanding of LTAP

Databricks clarifies the misunderstanding of LTAP through the Lakebase architecture, stating that it does not require a CDC pipeline or a second database, but serves Postgres and analytics through a single persistent data copy. This architecture stores data in a tiered manner in object storage and cache, not traditional replication, supporting both point-in-time and scan access paths, optimized respectively with Postgres heap pages and Parquet format, and without additional synchronization tasks. Reynolds Xin explains the concept of LTAP and how the Lakebase architecture achieves it.
