Azure Databricks Streamlit Application - Doubts

Hi Databricks community, I am currently tasked with creating a stream lit application with the help of data bricks application feature, I have currently created a lake base instance to sync the delta table located at the unity catalog and I have also created the application using stream lit and connected the lake base instance as backend and now I got a doubt, Is it possible to start/stop the lake base instance via the stream lit application Ui, if possible what are all the prerequisite access do I need to get in order to trigger lake base instance from my application and any code snippet that I can refer to?

Hi @RJTECHY210 ,

Yes, it's possible. You can use python sdk to achieve what you want. Here's a sample code for a reference:

from databricks.sdk import WorkspaceClient from databricks.sdk.service.database import DatabaseInstance # Initialize the Workspace client w = WorkspaceClient() # Stop a database instance instance_name = "my-database-instance" w.database.update_database_instance( name=instance_name, database_instance=DatabaseInstance( name=instance_name, stopped=True ), update_mask="*" ) print(f"Stopped database instance: {instance_name}") # Start a database instance w.database.update_database_instance( name=instance_name, database_instance=DatabaseInstance( name=instance_name, stopped=False ), update_mask="*" ) print(f"Started database instance: {instance_name}")

Also, don't forget to add proper permission for you databricks apps service principal. To be able to start and stop lakebase instance you need to have can manage permissions:
