​Databricks connect is a program which allows you to run spark code locally, but the actual execution happens on a spark cluster. Noticeably, it allows you to debug and step through the code locally in your own IDE. Quite useful. But it is now beeing deprecated, and the documentation states :

​

"Databricks recommends that you use dbx by Databricks Labs for local development instead of Databricks Connect. Databricks plans no new feature development for Databricks Connect at this time."

​

I am wondering exactly how dbx is supposed to alow local development? At the moment it seems like a job running tool, so enables you to run your whole notebook onaa cluster. But what about interactive development? Attaching a debugger? Is there plans for those features into dbx?
