With readChangeFeed flag AUTO, CDC automatically reads data from the Delta CDF. Thanks to the new flag and the ability to orchestrate the pipeline from the SQL warehouse, processing the Delta CDF is faster than ever. #databricks https://www.sunnydat...
If you’ve worked with Azure Databricks for a while, you’ve probably noticed one small but persistent friction point: the URLs.They’re long, system-generated, and not exactly memorable.Something like:Now imagine sharing that with business users, analy...
This looks very promising!Question - how do the workspace URLs work once the custom domain at the account level has been configured. If one goes to the development workspace, will the new url look like "https://contoso.databricks.com/WORKSPACE_ID"?
Now you can also tag notebooks. Especially useful if you process any PII data. #databricks More news on https://databrickster.medium.com/
AUTO CDC made me curious about one practical question: if Auto CDC is now one of the easiest ways to process CDF, is it also the cheapest? To answer that, I compared 3 approaches: - AUTO CDC pipeline (in standard and performance mode)- Spark Structur...

Azure Databricks now allows organisations to configure a custom URL at the account level, providing a unified and branded access point for all users.Instead of navigating multiple workspace-specific URLs, users can log in once using a single custom U...
@Nidhig631 Great summary.
We can now define Data Quality Alerts and schedule them. We will be notified when an anomaly is detected. It was possible before, but required setting a custom query and using system tables. Additionally, SQL Alert is now a normal Lakeflow job task, ...

Are you managing multiple LLMs on Databricks with no visibility or control? If the answer is Yes, don't worry, you are not alone. I have been in multiple discussion and got the same question about managing multiple LLMs in one place. Now, we have Dat...

There are more and more resources available in DABS, and I have to say, defining them is much nicer and easier to manage than in Terraform. We will continue using Terraform to deploy Azure or AWS resources, but we need to pass data from Terraform to ...
A new dynamic drop-down filter is available for the SQL editor. It takes the first column from the other saved query we point to. https://databrickster.medium.com/databricks-news-2026-week-13-23-march-2026-to-29-march-2026-24f99a978752
Databricks is entering a new market: cybersecurity. It’s one of the fastest-growing markets, alongside AI. The choice was obvious; Databricks already has a strong foundation with agents and the Lakehouse architecture. Many companies are already stori...
From DABS, you can pass a git branch. It is also a really useful best practice, as this way you define that only the given branch can be deployed to the target (e.g., main only to target prod, otherwise it will fail). #databricks https://databrickste...
