Dispelling LTAP myths
Dispelling LTAP myths
AI summary
This post rebuts four common misconceptions about LTAP: that it is CDC replication, that a single copy forces slow lookups or scans, that open table formats mean eventual consistency, and that Postgres logical replication suffices. It argues Lakebase keeps one logical table with the lake as its durable tier and caches in front of it, so no layer adds a second catalog or source of truth. Each myth is traced to the same misunderstanding of treating every materialization of the data as a second database.
