Databricks details improvements to Lakebase Postgres caching

Databricks says they've improved how Lakebase Postgres manages in-memory caching for customer databases. The platform now aims to dynamically adjust the memory it uses for caching based on workload, using up to 75% of available memory, rather than relying on static settings that require a reboot to change. The changes are meant to boost speed and handle workloads more efficiently.

Why it mattersDynamically scaling how a database uses memory helps it run faster and handle shifting workloads without downtime or manual tuning. That's especially useful for companies using cloud-based databases across many users or fluctuating demands.

Google Cloud SQL Server Migration Skips User Logins

If you migrate a SQL Server database to Google Cloud SQL using their Database Migration Service, your data goes over—but user logins don’t. That’s on purpose, says Google: DMS deliberately doesn’t copy server logins for security and compliance reasons. If you want your applications to connect, you’ll have to migrate those logins manually with standard SQL Server tools.
