Hello community!

I have been using for a while the new Databricks feature 'Databricks Apps'. It has been incredible the amount of effort and time we have saved by using Databricks Apps to deploy our dashboards instead of deploying them directly in our cloud. 

Although, I'm still seeing some limitations, like being unable to have more than 20 secrets within an app. But this is not the most annoying one.

The most annoying one is to not being able to change the compute used by the dashboard. This limits a lot the computational power we can have when the application is running. In some situations, we need to work with multiple big files at the same time or retrieve a very big table, which requires a higher computational power to render in a Databricks App.

In our cloud, we could change the instance used and that's it (requires more DevOps efforts). However, with this new feature, I'm not able to control the compute used by the dashboard.

I was wondering if anyone from this community knows more about these missing (and very required) features from Databricks Apps.

Thanks a lot for the responses, I'm very happy to be part of this community!

PS. Don't get me wrong, we are very impressed with this Apps, but we are still wondering if we should move it to our cloud and use a more powerful instance or stick with Databricks Apps and try to optimize the code as much as possible (it is not possible in some cases, so we must be patient in some moments...).
