Discover
Discover is a Databricks data governance capability, introduced February 2026.
A centralized Unity Catalog interface for searching, browsing, and previewing governed data assets, organized into business domains.
- It's an internal data-marketplace front door to Unity Catalog: search, browse, and preview governed assets grouped into business domains, so consumers find data without spelunking the catalog tree.
- It entered Beta on February 18, 2026.
- It went GA on October 8, 2026, under eight months from Beta to general availability, and the domains it organizes can now hold Genie Agents next to tables and notebooks.
Limitations: Subdomains support only one level of nesting and must be created and managed from a workspace-level Manage Discover page (no account-level subdomain management yet). Domains and subdomains combined are capped at 300 per account, a fixed limit.
