Databricks Workflow API Integration

A backend service that lets business applications or AI agents trigger Databricks jobs, track status, retrieve results, and expose data workflows through clean APIs.

Challenge

Databricks holds valuable data workflows, but triggering and consuming them from applications or AI agents usually means bespoke, brittle glue code with no consistent status tracking or result contract.

Solution

We built a Python service that wraps the Databricks REST API behind clean, documented endpoints. Applications and agents can start jobs, poll or subscribe to status, and retrieve structured results, with the service handling authentication, retries, and result normalisation.

Business value

  • Data workflows become callable, observable services
  • Consistent status tracking and result contracts across consumers
  • AI agents and apps reuse the same governed integration
