Enabling Evolutionary Database Development: database branching with Lakebase

Why this series existsThe methodology described in Evolutionary Database Design and...
The increasing complexity and importance of data infrastructure demand more sophisticated version control and development methodologies, mirroring practices in software engineering.
This development allows for more robust, collaborative, and auditable evolution of database schemas and data, critical for enterprise AI and data-driven initiatives.
Database development moves closer to modern software engineering paradigms like Git, enabling parallel development, easier experimentation, and safer deployments for data systems.
