@Saurabh2406 , I really appreciate how you grounded the “AI-first” conversation in the reality that data governance, security, and quality are what actually determine whether AI can scale beyond pilots. The tie-in to Gartner’s AI maturity model, and ...
Wait, Did Databricks Just Put Git Inside My Database? If you've been scratching your head at Lakebase's "branching" feature wondering "am I working with a database or GitHub?"—you're not alone. Let me break down what's actually happening here, becaus...
@AbhaySingh , This was a fun read — and a great way to spark discussion about what “Git inside my database” really means in practice. From what I’m seeing in the product world, Databricks isn’t literally putting Git inside the storage engine of your...

One thing becomes very clear when you spend time in the Databricks community: AI is no longer an experiment. It is already part of how real teams build, ship, and operate data systems at scale.For a long time, many organizations treated data engineer...
