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.

Provisioned Lakebase no longer exists. Never create it. The old Provisioned tier (static, non-scalable Postgres; databricks database CLI / w.database SDK) is being migrated to Autoscaling over summer 2026, with no customer action required. Lakebase today is Autoscaling-only (databricks postgres / w.postgres). Do not attempt to create Provisioned instances; if a user asks for one, tell them Provisioned instances don't exist anymore and point them to Autoscaling. Treat the legacy database resource key in app configs as retired, and migrate to the postgres resource key. For the legacy DAB synced_database_tables resource, use the postgres_synced_tables bundle resource or the databricks postgres create-synced-table CLI flow instead (see the Common Issues row and references/synced-tables.md).

For context when reading older configs or docs, here is how the retired Provisioned tier maps to Autoscaling:
