description: "Databricks announces the Public Preview of Apps on Databricks Marketplace, allowing customers to discover, install, and run third-party data and AI applications inside secure Databricks workspaces. The offering addresses procurement challenges involving data movement, lengthy security reviews, custom integrations, and fragmented identity management by bringing applications to the customer’s data. Installed apps run in isolated sandboxes within the consumer’s Databricks account, inherit Unity Catalog governance, and use dedicated serverless compute with consumer-controlled external access through Serverless Egress Gateway policies. Providers can publish closed-source containerized apps once for no-egress distribution without maintaining per-customer infrastructure, while applications connect natively to services including SQL Warehouse, Lakebase, Model Serving, and Foundation Model APIs. The Public Preview launches with 20 partners, and planned additions include bundled assets, provider analytics, and commercial monetization."

## Summary

Databricks announces the Public Preview of Apps on Databricks Marketplace, allowing customers to discover, install, and run third-party data and AI applications inside secure Databricks workspaces. The offering addresses procurement challenges involving data movement, lengthy security reviews, custom integrations, and fragmented identity management by bringing applications to the customer’s data. Installed apps run in isolated sandboxes within the consumer’s Databricks account, inherit Unity Catalog governance, and use dedicated serverless compute with consumer-controlled external access through Serverless Egress Gateway policies. Providers can publish closed-source containerized apps once for no-egress distribution without maintaining per-customer infrastructure, while applications connect natively to services including SQL Warehouse, Lakebase, Model Serving, and Foundation Model APIs. The Public Preview launches with 20 partners, and planned additions include bundled assets, provider analytics, and commercial monetization.

## Context

Enterprise adoption of third-party analytics tools and data applications has involved moving sensitive data to external infrastructure, lengthy Infosec and compliance reviews, custom ETL and API integrations, and fragmented identity management.

## Approach / What changed

Apps on Databricks Marketplace lets customers browse, authorize, install, and run third-party applications natively in their Databricks workspaces. Apps execute in isolated sandboxes on dedicated serverless compute, inherit Unity Catalog controls, and use the workspace’s Serverless Egress Gateway policies for declared external access.

## Takeaways

- Marketplace apps run inside the consumer’s Databricks account and inherit Unity Catalog security, auditing, and fine-grained access controls; required resources and scopes are authorized during installation.
- Providers publish closed-source containerized applications once, enabling Databricks customers to install and run them in their own environments without vendor infrastructure or per-customer onboarding.
- The Public Preview launches with 20 partners and plans to add bundled supporting assets, richer provider analytics, and commercial monetization for Marketplace apps.
