{/* MANUAL-CONTENT-START:intro */}
[Databricks](https://www.databricks.com/) is a unified data analytics platform built on Apache Spark, providing a collaborative environment for data engineering, data science, and machine learning. Databricks combines data warehousing, ETL, and AI workloads into a single lakehouse architecture, with support for SQL analytics, job orchestration, and cluster management across major cloud providers.

With the Databricks integration in Sim, you can:

- **Execute SQL queries**: Run SQL statements against Databricks SQL warehouses with support for parameterized queries and Unity Catalog
- **Manage jobs**: List, trigger, and monitor Databricks job runs programmatically
- **Track run status**: Get detailed run information including timing, state, and output results
- **Control clusters**: List and inspect cluster configurations, states, and resource details
- **Retrieve run outputs**: Access notebook results, error messages, and logs from completed job runs

In Sim, the Databricks integration enables your agents to interact with your data lakehouse as part of automated workflows. Agents can query large-scale datasets, orchestrate ETL pipelines by triggering jobs, monitor job execution, and retrieve results—all without leaving the workflow canvas. This is ideal for automated reporting, data pipeline management, scheduled analytics, and building AI-driven data workflows that react to query results or job outcomes.
