Git Folder Serverless

Git Folder Serverless is a Databricks developer experience capability, introduced September 2026.

One serverless compute resource shared by every notebook and file in a Git folder, with the Python environment for the whole folder managed by a pyproject.toml at its root instead of per notebook.

• Shared compute, unshared memory - notebooks on the same Git Folder Serverless share the environment and even a web terminal, but a Python variable defined in one notebook is not available in another. 🔗
• It is strictly single-occupancy - only the user who starts the compute can run on it, so the documented way to collaborate is for everyone to clone their own copy of the repository. 🔗
• Its dependency workflow is the %uv add and %uv sync notebook magics, which had reached serverless notebooks only about two weeks earlier. 🔗

⚠ Limitations: Beta. Compute sharing is scoped to a serverless usage policy, so notebooks and files in the same Git folder under different usage policies get separate compute resources; a root pyproject.toml must set environment_version to 5 or later; only the user who started the compute can run workloads on it; Python variables are not shared between notebooks; and it is used from the Git folder editor. 🔗
