Hi Databricks Team! I saw in the documentation that Databricks Asset Bundles will support Dashboards as well in the future. Could you please share, when we can expect that feature to be available? Is it coming only for the new Lakeview dashboards or will it be available for the old dashboard type as well? Will it be possible to manipulate the dashboard programmatically, allowing for an easy deployment across workspaces (environments)? We have separate catalogs for the dev, qa and prod environments, and looking for a feature to reference different catalogs for different environments as a data source when deploying dashboards.

Hi @Balazs, Hello! Databricks Asset Bundles are indeed a powerful feature that allows you to express complete data, analytics, and ML projects as a collection of source files. These bundles serve as an end-to-end definition of your project, including information on how they s....
Let’s dive into your questions:
Lakeview Dashboards vs. Old Dashboards: As of now, the information available doesn’t specify whether this feature will be exclusive to the new Lakeview dashboards or extend to the older dashboard type. However, I recommend monitoring official announcements and release notes for any updates on this front.
Programmatic Manipulation and Deployment: Asset Bundles allow you to describe your project’s infrastructure and resources using a YAML configuration file. This means you can programmatically define how your dashboards are set up, making deployment across workspaces (environments) more straightforward. You can specify different catalogs as data sources based on your environment requirements.
Environment-Specific Catalogs: Your use case aligns well with the flexibility Asset Bundles offer. By configuring the bundle to reference different catalogs for dev, QA, and prod environments, you can ensure consistent repeatability during deployments. This approach streamlines your workflow and promotes efficient development cycles.
Remember, Databricks Asset Bundles provide best-practice tools and processes for working with source code, including source control, code review, testing, and CI/CD. Keep an eye on official updates, and happy bundling! 🚀📦

Hi @Kaniz_Fatma,
Sounds good, thank you for your detailed answer!

Is any timeline when dashboards will be supported in bundles?

Hi @Kaniz_Fatma ,
It is not clear to me whether deploying dashboards with asset bundles is supported yet or not. If so, can you please point to an example or documentation on how to achieve this? Otherwise, when is this feature plan for?
Thanks!

Why it is not possible to deploy dashboards in asset bundles?
