Databricks is where your data lives. Superblocks helps you turn that data into applications people actually use. With Superblocks, you build Databricks-powered applications by describing what you want and let Clark (Superblocks AI copilot) handle the rest. No custom frontend code. No backend boilerplate. No complex deployment processes or infra to manage. Just fast, intuitive app building that plugs straight into the Databricks ecosystem. Apps built with Superblocks can be deployed directly as Databricks Apps, while access to Databricks data and compute is still fully governed by Unity Catalog.

​
Build apps fast with Clark

Superblocks makes it easy to turn ideas into Databricks apps using AI. With Clark, teams can:
  • Describe the app they want to build in plain language
  • Generate application interfaces along with backend APIs
  • Automatically produce SQL queries and REST API calls to Databricks services (within the user’s permissions)
  • Iterate quickly without rewriting frontend code or hand-coding backend logic
Clark builds the APIs and query logic. Databricks executes the SQL, jobs, pipelines, and AI workloads.

​
Expand who can build while keeping governance intact

Superblocks integrates directly with Databricks OAuth Token Federation so every generated SQL query and REST API call runs using the user’s Databricks identity. This means:
  • Unity Catalog permissions are enforced automatically
  • Access controls apply when Clark generates queries and APIs, not just at runtime
  • Analysts and operators can safely build apps without elevated privileges
Databricks remains the authority on who can access data.

​
Ship apps directly into Databricks

When an app is ready to ship, Superblocks makes it easy to deploy it directly as a Databricks App. Teams get:
  • Fast deployment with minimal setup
  • Apps that execute SQL queries and Databricks API calls from a familiar Databricks surface
  • A consistent experience for users who already work in Databricks
Users access the app directly inside Databricks, alongside their existing workflows.

​
Govern app access with Unity Catalog

Access to deployed apps is governed using the same Unity Catalog policies that protect Databricks resources. As a result:
  • SQL queries and Databricks API calls made by the app respect existing permissions
  • Changes to Unity Catalog policies are reflected immediately in app behavior
  • Governance remains centralized, consistent, and auditable
From development through production, Unity Catalog stays in control of who can access the app.
