Lakehouse Apps
Lakehouse Apps was renamed - Databricks now calls it Databricks Apps, as of October 2024.
Lakehouse Apps Databricks Apps
The 2023 announcement of native, secure applications that run entirely inside a customer's Databricks environment, on their own data and under Databricks security and governance, distributed through Databricks Marketplace.
- It launched with a partner lineup rather than a product - Retool, Posit, Kumo.ai, and Lamini were named as early development partners on day one.
- The June 2023 press release announced it without shipping it - Lakehouse Apps were only "expected in preview in the coming year."
- The pitch was that apps would come to the data, not the other way round - they would run entirely inside the customer's Lakehouse instance, using their data.
