System operations
Lakebase Postgres (Autoscaling Beta) is the next version of Lakebase, available for evaluation only. For production workloads, use Lakebase Public Preview. See choosing between versions to understand which version is right for you.
System operations are actions performed by the Lakebase platform on database projects and resources. These operations include both user-initiated activities (such as creating a branch or deleting a database) and system-initiated activities (such as suspending a compute after inactivity or checking availability). You can monitor these operations to track the health and status of your database project or to check the progress of specific operations.
Operation | Description |
|---|---|
| Applies a new configuration to a Lakebase object or resource. For example, changing compute settings or creating, deleting, or updating Postgres users and databases initiates this operation. |
| Applies a new configuration to a Lakebase storage object or resource. For example, updating the restore window for a project initiates this operation. |
| Checks the availability of data in a branch and that a compute can start on a branch. Branches without a compute are not checked. This operation, performed by the availability checker, is a periodic process generated by Lakebase. |
| Creates a branch in a Lakebase project. |
| Sets up storage and creates the default branch when a Lakebase project is created. |
| Deletes stored data when a Lakebase project is deleted. |
| Starts a compute when there is an event or action that requires compute resources. For example, connecting to a suspended compute initiates this operation. |
| Suspends a compute after a period of inactivity. |
| Attaches a Lakebase project to storage. |
| Detaches a Lakebase project from storage after the project as been idle for an extended period. |
| Reattaches a detached Lakebase project to storage when a detached project receives a request. |
| The time when a branch archive operation was initiated. |
| The time when the branch unarchive operation was initiated. |
