Expensive problem solved in 4 weeks
Problem→
- Every new Databricks app without shared standards adds cost, debt, and risk that compounds invisibly →
- Self-service enablement without guardrails means no ownership, no audit trail, no cost attribution →
- Scaling to hundreds of agent-native apps without an operational layer breaks governance, security, and budget →
Solution
- Templates, standards, and policy-as-code give every app the same governed foundation from day one.
- OBO auth, RBAC, and unified observability make every app, agent, and spend traceable and accountable.
- Apps Factory is the operational layer with auth, security, observability, CI/CD. Set up once, inherited by every app that follows.

FAQ
Yes, and that's the whole point. Apps Factory is designed for handover from day one. By the end of the 4-week program, your teams have templates, standards, CI/CD pipelines, security patterns, and full documentation. Apps Factory runs itself.
No. Apps Factory includes a thorough architecture review that assesses your current environment and maps integration points across your existing platforms. If you're running Databricks alongside SAP, Azure, custom databases, or other systems, we identify the right consolidation path before anything is built. We help you unify your data foundation as part of the process.
Apps Factory is purpose-built for Databricks and designed to make the most of what the platform offers—Unity Catalog governance, Databricks Apps, Agent Bricks, Lakebase, and the full agentic engineering stack. If Databricks is your platform of choice or your target state, Apps Factory is the fastest path to enterprise scale.
Up to 100 development days per application on average and 3x faster time to market. Every subsequent application ships faster than the last, without multiplying overhead, architectural debt, or operational risk.
Apps Factory includes a full observability and cost control layer built into the foundation. Every app exposes unified telemetry. Every spend is attributed per user, per app, and per team via OBO authentication. Overspend guardrails are enforced as policy-as-code. Dormant endpoints are flagged automatically. AI guardrails control hallucinations, jailbreaks, and rate limits across every workflow. You have a single control panel for the entire ecosystem.
Apps Factory gives you the foundation to build practically any applications and agentic workflows on Databricks. Analytics apps that put live data and AI outputs directly in business hands in weeks. Agent workflows that cut 90% of automatable work so your people focus on the critical 10%. AI automation embedded in apps that increases throughput and productivity, keeping people in the loop where it matters most.
