New Lakebase instances include autoscaling by default

New Lakebase instances are now created with autoscaling compute, scale to zero, branching, and instant restore by default.

What it does

New Lakebase instances are now created with autoscaling compute, scale to zero, branching, and instant restore by default. This applies when you create instances using the UI, Database instance API, Terraform, or SDKs. Autoscaling dynamically adjusts the amount of compute resources allocated to your Lakebase computes in response to current workload demands.
