Imagine all a data engineer or analyst needs to do to read from a REST API is use spark.read(), no direct request calls, no manual JSON parsing - just spark .read. That’s the power of a custom Spark Data Source. Soon, we will see a surge of open-sour...
DBX is one of the most crucial projects of dblabs this year, and we can expect that more and more great checks from it will be supported natively in databricks. More about dbx on https://databrickslabs.github.io/dqx/
When something goes wrong, and your pattern is doing MERGEs per day in your jobs, backfill jobs will help you to reload many days in one shot.

With the first day of December comes the first window of our Databricks Advent Calendar. It’s a perfect time to look back at this year’s biggest achievements and surprises — and to dream about the new “presents” the platform may bring us next year. ...
Fantastic kickoff to the Databricks Advent Calendar 2025 , appreciate you steering the series, @Hubert-Dudek!
With the new ALTER SET, it is really easy to migrate (copy/move) tables. Quite awesome also when you need to make an initial load and have an old system under Lakehouse Federation (foreign tables).
Many Databricks engineers have asked whether it's possible to use Claude Code CLI directly against Databricks-hosted Claude models instead of Anthropic's cloud API. This enables repo-aware AI workflows—navigation, diffs, testing, MCP tools—right insi...
One of the biggest gifts is that we can finally move Genie to other environments by using the API. I hope DABS comes soon.

We've all been there. You're excited about the lakehouse, you see the value clear as day, and then you try explaining it to a coworker and their eyes glaze over. Slides don't cut it. Documentation links get ignored. What actually works? Showing them...
In today’s data-driven world, organisations are drowning in information. From customer transactions and IoT sensor readings to social media interactions and operational logs, the volume and variety of data continue to grow exponentially. Yet many org...

Disaster recovery is possible in Unity catalog now?Means, for data level, we have enabled with geo redundancy, what about the objects, permissions, an other components in Unity catalog ? Can we restore the unity catalog metadata in another region ?
Official product release in development will be available as PrPr in a few months.
If you are going with DABS into a production environment, a CLI version is considered best practice. Of course, you need to remember to bump it up from time to time. Learn more: - https://databrickster.medium.com/managing-databricks-cli-versions-i...
You can now run distributed ML (Spark MLlib in Python, Optuna tuning, MLflow Spark, Joblib Spark) on serverless notebooks/jobs and on standard clusters, not just dedicated ML clusters.It reuses the same Unity Catalog + Lakeguard stack you already use...
Last month, our nightly CDC pipeline started timing out. What used to complete in 20 minutes was now crawling past the 4-hour mark—and failing. The culprit? A MERGE statement against a 2.3TB Delta table with 800 million rows that had grown steadily o...
