Building Operational Systems on Databricks (with Andre Landgraf)Building Operational Systems on Databricks - with Andre Landgraf

LIVESTREAM DATE/TIME 📅

June 26th: 9:30 AM (Pacific Time)

DESCRIPTION 📄

There are two broad categories of systems: analytical systems and operational systems. Databricks is primarily known for the former. It’s an OLAP platform where organizations ingest, manage, analyze, and derive value from their data. This includes everything from business intelligence and analytics to machine learning models, AI workloads, and data pipelines.

The resulting insights, predictions, and AI-generated outputs need to flow back into operational systems that can act on them, whether that's powering an internal tool or personalizing a customer experience. This is even more true in the age of AI, where this data becomes context for agents. To make that possible, we need ways to channel analytical data back into operational systems (data apps, AI agents, and more).

In this session, I’ll give an overview of the Databricks capabilities that help operationalize analytical data. We’ll look at services such as Databricks Apps, Lakebase, and other platform components that enable you to build operational and agentic applications directly within your Databricks workspace. Let's vibe code an app from scratch and cover practical vibe coding best practices while integrating data from your lakehouse.
