Databricks Apps. Build full-stack apps on your data.

A deploy platform for apps, with built-in auth, hosting, and integrations.

[Benefits]

Where your app and data come together. Most app stacks require wiring auth, data, and services together. Databricks Apps runs it all in one place.

Connected by default

Authentication, data access, and services work together out of the box — eliminating glue code.

One unified stack

No separate application stack or environments to manage — focus on building and shipping instantly.

Built on your data

Use governed data, models, and permissions your platform already runs on for seamless access.

[Features]

How you build and ship with Databricks Apps

01Serverless app hosting

Run your app inside Databricks. [Serverless hosting for full-stack apps, with compute, TLS, and deployment handled.]

Apps run inside your workspace — no infrastructure to manage and no separate hosting to maintain.

  • Containerized runtime with managed compute
  • Built-in TLS and automatic HTTPS app URLs
  • Automatic builds and deploys from source
02Auth & Permissions

Secure your app with built-in identity. [Native authentication and permissions, fully integrated with your data and resources.]

Identity flows through your app — no separate auth system to build or permissions layer to manage across data, models, and services.

  • Service principals created and managed per app
  • On-behalf-of-user access with fine-grained controls
  • Permissions enforced across data, models, and resources
03Native integrations

Connect to data and services, natively. [Apps integrate directly with your data, models, and services as first-class resources.]

Declare dependencies once — no API keys to manage or services to wire together across environments.

  • Native access to SQL, Lakebase, and storage
  • Built-in connections to models and vector search
  • Secrets and external services managed in one place
