Databricks Asset Bundles: Stable configuration of your workspaces

Why provisioning with DABs?

• Fast and repeatable setup of environments
  DABs make it possible to deploy entire Databricks workspaces – including code, configuration and infrastructure – in one go. So a new environment is ready in minutes, instead of hours or days.
• Consistent and error-free deployments
  By working with ‘infrastructure-as-code’, all environments are set up identically. This prevents human errors and ensures that development, test and production environments remain synchronous.
• Easy promotion between environments
  With just one command, code can be promoted from development to test, acceptance or production. No more manual steps – yet reliability and speed.
• Seamless integration with CI/CD pipelines
  Bundles can be integrated directly into existing CI/CD processes. This allows jobs to be automatically tested and deployed via the CLI, without the intervention of engineers.
• More focus for data engineers
  Less time spent on infrastructure, more time building stable, valuable data products. Automation takes repetitive work out of their hands.
• Standardisation for platform teams
  DABs bring a uniform way of working between teams. This makes the platform scalable, maintainable and easy to manage.
• Transparency and governance
  All configurations are fixed in version management. So it is always clear who modified what, where and when. This increases control over deployments and strengthens trust among stakeholders.

How Blenddata helps provisioning with SGIs

As proven with several clients, Blenddata is the knowledge partner for provisioning and automating your Databricks environments. We successfully helped one of our customers migrate from a Dataiku platform to a Databricks platform, reducing costs and increasing data stability. Another satisfied client is a large financial service provider, where we helped build a robust Databricks platform from the start, with more than 10 teams running hundreds of data streams on a daily basis. We think along with you and search together for the best solution for your organisation.

Summary & next step

In short, Databricks Asset Bundles allow the user to declaratively configure a Databricks workspace, bundle infrastructure and code, and replicate it automatically across multiple environments.
