What it does
“Python backend for Databricks Apps — FastAPI (default), Flask, Dash, Streamlit, Gradio, Reflex. **Default for a new Databricks App is `databricks-apps` (AppKit — Node/TypeScript/React) — reach for it first.** Use this skill only when the user asks for a Python backend, extends an existing Python app, or the team is Python-only. Covers OAuth auth, app resources, SQL warehouse and Lakebase connectivity, foundation-model / Vector Search / model-serving APIs (via `databricks-python-sdk`), and deployment via CLI or DABs.”
Generated summary from the skill's own text
Enables agents to build Python backends for Databricks Apps using FastAPI, Flask, Dash, Streamlit, Gradio, or Reflex. Covers authentication via service principals and user tokens, connecting to SQL warehouses and Lakebase, calling foundation models and model-serving endpoints through the Databricks SDK, and deployment via CLI or Asset Bundles.
When to use it
- User explicitly requests a Python backend for a Databricks App
- Extending an existing Python application on Databricks
- Team prefers Python-only development stack
- Building dashboards, ML demos, or internal tools with Python frameworks
When not to
- Building a new Databricks App from scratch without Python requirement
- User needs Node.js/TypeScript/React frontend (use databricks-apps instead)
- Requiring custom compute or runtime not provided by platform
