Sneak Peek: How We Use Databricks Apps to Power Field Demos at Scale

How does Databricks keep thousands of field engineers on-message, with the right demo ready for every customer conversation? The answer: we run our demo program on Databricks Apps. In this session, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at how we use Apps to catalog, search, and launch hundreds of demos across products and industries.

We’ll walk through the FE Demo Catalog, a Databricks App backed by Lakebase that acts as the single source of truth for demos—complete with AI search, links to live environments, recordings, decks, and scripts—so any seller or architect can quickly find “the one right demo” for their meeting. We’ll also show how our Demo Builder flows let field teams submit and update demos in a structured way, keeping quality high without central bottlenecks.

If you’ve ever wondered how to scale demo excellence inside your own company, this “Databricks on Databricks” story will give you a concrete pattern for using Databricks Apps to run demo catalogs and demo tools at scale.
