Hi,

Is there a plan to make lakebase as destination of Zerobus?

Thanks.

Did you watch the Bricktalks from last week about zerobus?

Your question came up in the Q&A.

Vicky Bukta is the PM and based on what I heard, it didn't seem to be a priority. I think they want you to curate/refine your data as you move it from a UC managed table into lakebase.

IMHO, I don't think it is reasonable to expect lakebase as a destination. There are already a lot of considerations/complexity when landing data into open table formats, let alone conventional database tables. I think it would be 10x more complex to make it work smoothly with lakebase, and even after it worked you would see a massively lower level of performance. Conventional databases have lots of additional considerations, like managing indexes, and respecting pessimistic locks/isolation. A UC managed table doing append-only additions can be extremely simple and fast.
