I’ve been waiting to share this announcement for a while. Seriously, my Slack drafts folder was starting to look like a graveyard of half-written messages. When we first kicked off WorqHat, our mission was straightforward: make building software so easy your grandma could do it, assuming she wanted to automate her cat’s feeding schedule or something similar.
The world of data and AI is currently experiencing a massive shakeup, the kind that reshapes industries. We knew it was the perfect time for us to level up.
That’s why we are incredibly excited to announce that WorqHat is teaming up with Databricks in a strategic partnership. This collaboration is all about combining our strengths to build something truly revolutionary for developers like you.
The Challenge: Juggling Speed, Scale, and Security
In today's landscape, building intelligent applications is a balancing act. Developers are expected to innovate at lightning speed, spinning up new features and experimenting with AI agents. But this need for speed often clashes with the critical demands of security, governance, and scalability.
How do you let your team experiment like a caffeinated squirrel while keeping your data locked down tighter than a fridge after midnight? How do you go from a weekend project to an enterprise-grade application without rebuilding your entire infrastructure? These are the headaches that keep developers and CTOs up at night.
The Solution: The Best of Both Worlds
This partnership is our answer. By integrating Databricks’ legendary Data Intelligence Platform with WorqHat, we are bringing a new level of power and peace of mind to your development workflow.
Here’s what this integration means for you:
- Enterprise-Grade Security and Governance: Databricks brings its robust security and unified governance model directly into the WorqHat ecosystem. Startups and enterprises alike can now build complex applications, dashboards, and workflows with confidence, knowing their data is protected by industry-leading protocols. Say goodbye to existential crises about data breaches.
- Deploy AI Agents at Machine Speed: Our integration is built for the new era of AI. You can now deploy and manage thousands of concurrent AI agent-powered apps with incredible efficiency. We are removing the old-school limitations so you can push the boundaries of what’s possible.
- Scale Without Headaches: The combined power of WorqHat and Databricks provides a cost-effective, seamless path to scale. Whether you’re serving ten users or ten million, the platform is designed to handle the load without forcing you into costly and time-consuming infrastructure overhauls.
- Instant, Agile Development with WorqDB: Tap into the full potential of the open source Postgres ecosystem through WorqDB. Our instant database branching allows you to experiment freely, create isolated development environments in seconds, and merge changes without fear. It’s the agility you need, backed by the power you can trust.
What’s Next? Start Building.
This is more than just an integration. It’s a fundamental shift in how AI-powered applications are built and scaled. We are removing the friction between innovation and infrastructure so you can focus on what you do best: building amazing things.
We have a lot more updates on the way, but you don’t have to wait to see what this partnership can do for your team. Jump into the WorqHat platform and start building today.
Worst case, you make something cool. Best case, you become the office hero.
Our Future Plans: Data Intelligence and a Unified Source of Truth
With Databricks as our data and governance backbone and WorqHat as the application and agent runtime, we’re building a data-intelligent development stack where your database becomes the living source of truth for both humans and AI.
Data Intelligence Fabric
- Semantic layer over your lakehouse: define business concepts once and reuse them everywhere, including dashboards, agents, and apps. Think “Customer Health,” “LTV,” or “Churn Risk” as first-class objects, not one-off queries.
- Lineage and observability: end-to-end lineage from raw tables to API responses and agent actions. If a KPI spikes, trace it back to the upstream dataset or prompt change in seconds.
- Policy-aware by default: governance (Unity Catalog), data quality checks, and policy tags flow through every layer, including queries, features, APIs, and agents.
WorqDB as a Vectorized Source of Truth
- Built-in embeddings: WorqDB will offer native vectorization pipelines (e.g., pgvector) so any table or column can maintain an embedding sidecar and vector index automatically.
- Hybrid search and joins: combine structured filters with semantic similarity (e.g., “active customers similar to this complaint”) for richer retrieval, not just text search.
- Vectorized materialized views: define “semantic views” that continuously refresh embeddings as data changes, perfect for RAG, recommendations, deduplication, and anomaly detection.
- Lakehouse sync: continuously materialize curated, governed Databricks tables into WorqDB (and back) with vectors kept in lockstep, so your app search is always consistent with your source of truth.
Semantic APIs and Feature Hub
- Auto-generated APIs: instantly expose governed tables, features, and semantic views as typed REST/GraphQL endpoints with auth, caching, and quotas.
- Feature hub for agents: register reusable features (text, numeric, embeddings) with descriptions and owners; agents discover and leverage them safely.
- Type-safe SDKs: generate client libraries that understand schemas, policies, and vector queries out of the box.
Streaming, Events, and Real-Time Context
- CDC and event bridges: capture changes from your lakehouse and operational DB, stream them into agents and apps for real-time personalization and alerting.
- Online feature store: low-latency lookups for the latest features and vectors, with automatic backfills from historical data.
- Time-travel debugging: replay production events with the exact data, prompts, and policies that were active at that moment.
AgentOps at Scale
- Evaluation harness: offline and online evals with golden sets, regression tests, and auto-generated counterfactuals.
- Cost, latency, and safety budgets: set envelopes per route or per agent; we enforce and alert when drift happens.
- Guardrails and human-in-the-loop: PII/PHI detection, jailbreak filters, citation requirements, and approval queues for sensitive actions.
Governance You Don’t Have to Think About
- Row/column-level security everywhere: enforced consistently across SQL, APIs, dashboards, embeddings, and agent retrieval.
- Policy tags propagate: mark a column as sensitive once; the tag follows through lineage, features, vectors, and caches.
- Audit by design: every query, API call, and agent decision lands in a searchable audit log with lineage context.
Developer Experience, Supercharged
- Ephemeral preview stacks: one click to spin up a branch of your app plus a branched WorqDB copy seeded from production, including vector indexes.
- Notebook-to-app: promote a Databricks notebook or experiment into a production endpoint with a stable schema, tests, and monitoring.
- Templates for common patterns: RAG over governed data, semantic search with filters, recommendations, anomaly monitors, KPI copilots, and more.
Enterprise-Ready Foundations
- Private networking and peering, secrets vaulting, SSO/SAML, SCIM, and regional data residency.
- Bring-your-own model and key management options to meet compliance and cost controls.
- Multi-tenant isolation with clear limits, quotas, and noisy-neighbor protections.
In short, we’re converging the worlds of governed data and high-velocity application development. Your data stays trustworthy, your teams move faster, and your AI gets a brain that remembers, reasons, and respects policy.
