Databricks is a cloud-native platform built for data engineering, machine learning, and analytics. It unifies data science and data engineering workflows on top of Apache Spark. Connecting Databricks to DataGalaxy brings governance, lineage, and semantic context to pipelines, notebooks, and AI models—all within a shared framework.

What Databricks assets can be integrated with DataGalaxy?

DataGalaxy supports the integration of key Databricks assets including Delta tables, notebooks, and machine learning models. Each asset is enriched with full metadata context, making it easy to document, govern, and align your technical workflows with business objectives.

Can I view governance and definitions directly in Databricks?

Yes. The integration allows you to embed governance elements like definitions, roles, and trust indicators directly into the Databricks interface. This ensures that data practitioners have access to critical context while working in notebooks, pipelines, or ML environments—without leaving their workspace.

Does the connector support end-to-end data lineage?

Absolutely. DataGalaxy automatically maps and visualizes the flow of data across your Databricks pipelines, from raw ingestion to transformed datasets and downstream models or dashboards. This end-to-end lineage helps identify dependencies, track changes, and enhance accountability across your data lifecycle.

How does DataGalaxy turn governance into an enabler in Databricks?

Instead of slowing down innovation, DataGalaxy embeds governance natively into Databricks workflows—ensuring transparency, lifecycle documentation, and cross-team collaboration. This transforms governance from a bottleneck into a catalyst for trusted, agile data and AI delivery.

How does DataGalaxy integrate with Databricks?

With DataGalaxy, teams can catalog and govern assets from Databricks — including tables, notebooks, Delta Lake metadata, and more. This ensures data used for analytics or AI workloads is trusted, discoverable, and documented across your stack. 👉 See how DataGalaxy integrates with Databricks
