dev.databricks.com is the home for developers building data and AI applications on Databricks. It is opinionated documentation, runnable guides and examples, and copy-paste-friendly content so you—and your coding agents—can go from idea to deployed app in minutes not months.
Databricks brings operational data, AI agents, and apps together on one platform: Lakebase for Postgres that lives next to your lakehouse, Agent Bricks for governed, production-grade agents on your data, and Databricks Apps for secure, serverless frontends and APIs. DevHub is where we show you how those pieces fit into real workflows—not slides, but guides, templates, and full examples you can run.
The easiest way to get started building on Databricks is AppKit. AppKit is the open-source TypeScript SDK for building those apps: React UI, Express server, Databricks Asset Bundle integration, and plugins (Lakebase, Genie, analytics, and more). DevHub guides and examples are built with AppKit.
- Browse Resources — Filter Guides (step-by-step prompts) or Examples (full example apps with step-by-step instructions).
- Copy — Use Copy as Markdown on a resource page so your agent gets recipes, commands, and context in one paste.
- Give it to your coding agent — Paste into Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, or your usual tool. Add a short brief: domain, data, UX, and what “done” looks like.
- Build end to end — Work with your agent on application code, Databricks Asset Bundles, Lakebase, and platform wiring until you have a production-ready agentic application: secure, deployable, and aligned with how Apps and Agents are meant to run on Databricks—not a one-off script.
You will need the Databricks CLI installed and authenticated to your workspace before you deploy. For prerequisites, prompts, and companion docs (Agents, Apps, Lakebase), see Start here.
Whether you are typing databricks apps init yourself or pasting a bootstrap prompt into your agent, the goal is the same: ship faster on a platform that already unifies data, governance, and deployment.
