“Build Databricks Apps in 5 Minutes” – This is the slogan the company uses to advertise its new offering explainer videoDatabricks apps are designed for use cases such as artificial intelligence, analytics, data visualization or data quality monitoring. Customized and company-specific applications can be created in a matter of minutes, without developers having to spend a long time dealing with challenges such as infrastructure, maintenance, security, governance and compliance. Instead, they can focus solely on developing their applications – either building on the Databricks platform or using familiar IDEs, such as PyCharm or Visual Studio Code.
PyCharm Business Integration recently updated Databricks to allow data scientists and data engineers to use a variety of Python frameworks in their work – including Dash, Gradio, and Streamlit. To be able to more quickly develop apps like dashboards with connected semantic search and put them into production, the Databricks service can be seamlessly integrated into DevOps processes and CI/CD pipelines. To deliver applications, the platform provides automated serverless computing instances, allowing users to access the app through an individual URL.
