Currently, Databricks Apps is in public beta. Users only need to select a suitable Python framework (such as Streamlit, Dash, Gradio, or Flask), choose a template type (chatbot or data visualization application), and configure some basic settings to quickly complete the application setup.

Once completed, the application will be directly deployed to the user's Databricks environment, making it convenient for everyone to use and share. Moreover, when logging in, a single sign-on authentication will automatically pop up, greatly enhancing the convenience of use.

Developers often encounter many hassles when building applications, such as needing to be familiar with container hosting technology, configuring authentication, setting up networks, and more. These tedious steps often complicate and prolong the development process. Now, Databricks Apps simplifies all of this into one place, requiring only simple settings, with all infrastructure and security measures handled automatically. More importantly, this service also provides robust security measures to ensure the safety of user data and applications.

Currently, 50 companies have participated in the testing of Databricks Apps, including Addi, E.ON Digital Technology, SAE International, and more. With the launch of the public beta, it is expected that the number of participating companies will continue to increase. Although this service currently only supports Python frameworks, Databricks indicates that they are working hard to expand more tools, languages, and frameworks to make secure application development even simpler.

In response to competitor Snowflake's introduction of a low-code development approach, Databricks Apps distinguishes itself with its more flexible and interoperable features. Whether it's the choice of tools or the method of building applications, Databricks aims to provide developers with greater freedom.
