Description

Developers in Azure Databricks can now create a copy-on-write branch of their Lakebase production database with a single command, connect GitHub Copilot agent mode to the branch endpoint, and debug AI apps and agents against real production data without ever touching production. The workflow is fully Azure-native across GitHub, and Azure Databricks with enterprise compliance workflows included. This reduces AI agent debug cycles from hours to minutes while keeping production data completely safe.
