From App to App Ecosystem: An Operating Model for Thousands of Enterprise-Scale Databricks Apps

When you go from one AI app to a hundred, the bottleneck isn't building — it's governing. Who owns each app? Who manages costs, permissions, and networking? What breaks when a team goes rogue? This session lays out a practical operating model for enterprise-scale app deployment on Databricks: how to divide platform and team responsibilities, how to enforce governance without creating a bureaucratic chokepoint, and how to build an "app factory" foundation where identity, resources, and networking are standardized from day one. Whether you're managing five apps or five hundred, you'll leave with a clear framework for scaling without losing control.
