how long before ubuntu switches over to this? i don't even know if ubuntu has forked from debian or it's pretty much the same, but with different package management?

I believe that Ubuntu gets their packages from Debian unstable not stable. So the latest Ubuntu most likely already has very similar packages (if not slightly newer) to this.

Ubuntu is cut from Debian testing, not stable. Testing uses a rolling release, so any recent Ubuntu will already have most of the changes that went into Buster today.

thanks all. does anyone have any experience with debian in production for hosting restful api backends? i use ubuntu almost exclusively, but i always see something about it being derived from (debian) 'stretch' or whatever so was wondering what i'd typically get in terms of benefit compared to ubuntu.

Ubuntu is based on packages from testing+unstable, where the packages get automatically or manually synced from.
