System operations

Important

Lakebase Autoscaling is in Beta in the following regions: eastus2, westeurope, westus.

Lakebase Autoscaling is the latest version of Lakebase with autoscaling compute, scale-to-zero, branching, and instant restore. For feature comparison with Lakebase Provisioned, see choosing between versions.

System operations are actions performed by the Lakebase platform on 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 project or to check the progress of specific operations.

Operation	Description
Apply config	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.
Apply storage config	Applies a new configuration to a Lakebase storage object or resource. For example, updating the restore window for a project initiates this operation.
Check availability	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.
Create branch	Creates a branch in a Lakebase project.
Create timelime	Sets up storage and creates the default branch when a Lakebase project is created.
Delete tenant	Deletes stored data when a Lakebase project is deleted.
Start compute	Starts a compute when there is an event or action that requires compute resources. For example, connecting to a suspended compute initiates this operation.
Suspend compute	Suspends a compute after a period of inactivity.
Tenant attach	Attaches a Lakebase project to storage.
Tenant detach	Detaches a Lakebase project from storage after the project as been idle for an extended period.
Tenant reattach	Reattaches a detached Lakebase project to storage when a detached project receives a request.
Timeline archive	The time when a branch archive operation was initiated.
Timeline unarchive	The time when the branch unarchive operation was initiated.

View operations

You can view system operations by navigating to the System operations tab on the Monitoring page in the Lakebase App.

Operation details include:

• Operation: The action performed by the operation.
• Compute: The compute on which the operation occurred.
• Operation status: The status of the operation.
• Duration: The duration of the operation.
• Date: The date and time the operation occurred.

Possible Operation status values are OK, Scheduling, In progress, and Error.
