Databricks Apps React/Nextjs

[r4kh4t]

Hi Databricks team,

I want to know whether React, or, in particular, Nextjs is available to be deployed to Databricks Apps? Can someone point me to the documentation, with few examples on how this can be achieved?

Hi @r4kh4t,

Databricks Apps provides a PaaS service which lets you host Python or Node.js applications on a Databricks Serverless Compute slot.

In the case of JavaScript-based frontend applications (e.g. React, TypeScript, Next.js, etc), you will need to bundle this down to a static webpage (i.e. HTML, CSS, JS) and then host this on a webserver (e.g. FastAPI, Flask, Express.js).

An example of this can be seen in the Lakebase keynote demo repository:
