FAQPage Schema
How do I build a Databricks app with Python frameworks like Streamlit or Dash?

You can build Databricks apps using Python frameworks like Streamlit, Dash, Gradio, Flask, FastAPI, and Reflex. Initialize your project using the Databricks CLI with a specific template, such as streamlit, to generate the application structure.

Can I use FastAPI to create a REST API on Databricks Apps?

Yes, FastAPI is fully supported for creating REST APIs on Databricks Apps. The environment provides integrated support for FastAPI and Flask, enabling you to develop and deploy REST API endpoints directly.

How does OAuth authorization work for Python apps deployed on Databricks?

OAuth authorization for Python apps on Databricks handles user authentication and service principal access. The integrated OAuth mechanism secures your application and manages connections to underlying Databricks resources automatically.

What is the best way to deploy a Python dashboard to Databricks?

The best way to deploy a Python dashboard to Databricks is using the Databricks CLI. This approach manages the app lifecycle and deployment for frameworks like Dash and Streamlit, connecting them to Databricks SQL warehouses and model serving endpoints.

Does Databricks Apps support connecting Python web apps to model serving endpoints?

Yes, Databricks Apps supports connecting Python web apps to model serving endpoints. The resource management features allow Streamlit, Gradio, or Flask applications to seamlessly integrate with model serving endpoints, SQL warehouses, and Lakebase.

When should I use Python frameworks instead of AppKit SDK for Databricks app development?

Use Python frameworks like Streamlit or FastAPI for Python-based web apps, dashboards, and REST APIs. Choose the AppKit SDK for new Databricks apps requiring a TypeScript and React frontend with a plugin architecture.
