Create a custom Databricks app
Create a custom Databricks app using your own code. Start by naming the app, then upload your code and artifacts to the workspace. Databricks creates the app but leaves deployment up to you, so you have full control over the app’s setup and configuration.
Create the app
To create a custom app in the Databricks UI, do the following:
-
In the sidebar, click
New, then select App from the menu. -
Click Create a custom app.
-
Enter a name for your app and an optional description.
note- App names must be unique within the workspace and can only contain lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens.
- Don't include sensitive information in app names.
- You can't change the app name after you create it.
- App names and deployment history are visible to all workspace users.
-
Click Next: Configure (or Create app to skip advanced configuration).
Configure the following optional settings:
- App resources: Add resources that the app service principal will access on behalf of the app. See Add resources to a Databricks app.
- User authorization: Add API scopes so the app can access resources on behalf of the user. See Configure authorization in a Databricks app.
- Compute size: Configure the CPU and memory for your app. See Configure the compute size for a Databricks app.
BetaApp compute sizing is in Beta.
-
Click Create app.
Databricks creates the app but doesn't deploy it automatically. Because you’re using custom code, you must upload your code and artifacts and then deploy the app manually.
The app details page shows the following:
- The status of app creation.
- Instructions for syncing code and artifacts from your local environment to the Databricks workspace, and how to deploy the app.
Databricks generates the app URL automatically based on your app name and workspace ID. You can't change the URL after you create the app. If you need a different URL, create a new app with a different name. For more information, see App URL.
