DATABRICKS ROLLOUT PLANNER

Plan a compliant Databricks rollout in minutes, not months.

Answer 8 questions about your organisation, your compliance constraints, and your Azure setup. Get a production-ready rollout plan, Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, and a compliance justification doc back. Built by the people who do Databricks rollouts for a living.

What we ask you

Eight phases, grouped into four conversations. The planner adapts each next question to what you've already answered, so you're never filling out a generic form.

STEP 1

Your organisation

Size, sector, and the way decisions actually get made. The same Databricks setup doesn't fit a 50-person SME and a regulated enterprise. The plan adapts.

STEP 2

Your compliance constraints

GDPR, DORA, NIS2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, EU AI Act and more. We ask which apply, then bake the controls into the rollout plan and into the compliance doc.

STEP 3

Your Azure foundations

Tenant, subscription structure, regions, identity. The planner generates Terraform that fits your existing landing zone rather than starting from a green field.

STEP 4

Your Databricks design

Workspaces, Unity Catalog metastore, catalogs, SQL warehouses, compute. The shape that fits your data volume and your team's way of working, not a copy-paste reference architecture.

What you get back

Four artifacts. Each one ready to use on its own. Together, they're what a senior Databricks architect would write for you, only faster.

IaC

Terraform HCL

Infrastructure-as-code modules for your Azure tenant, subscription structure, Databricks workspaces, Unity Catalog metastore and catalogs, access groups, and SQL warehouses. Open the file, run terraform plan, done.

Automation

CI/CD pipelines

YAML pipelines and Databricks Asset Bundles for promoting changes through environments. Branching strategy, deployment gates, and the patterns you'd put in place yourself if you had a free week.

Documentation

Compliance justification

A markdown document mapping every decision in your rollout to the frameworks you flagged. Auditable, defensible, and forward-able to your CISO.

Visualisation

Interactive rollout explorer

Walk through the generated plan as a tree: Azure tenant, subscription, resource group, Databricks workspace, Unity Catalog metastore, catalogs, SQL warehouses. See the shape before you commit to it.

Compliance, baked in.

Tell us which frameworks apply. The plan respects them, and the compliance doc explains how, decision by decision. 20+ frameworks supported. The ones we see most often:

Don't see your framework? The planner asks, and Claude maps your controls to whichever one you flag. We add new frameworks as we see them.

Why we built it

After enough Databricks rollouts, we noticed we were answering the same eight questions every time. The same compliance frameworks kept coming back. The same Terraform patterns. The same Unity Catalog and workspace shapes for the same kinds of organisations.

Instead of writing it from scratch each project, we put the playbook into a tool. Claude does the heavy lifting on adapting it to your situation. We keep the methodology current. You get to skip the part of the project where everyone's figuring out what good looks like.

Use the plan as a starting point. Tweak it, hand it to your team, or hand it back to us to deliver. Either way, you start the conversation from a much better place than a blank page.

You don't get faster by skipping steps. You get faster by not starting from scratch.

No setup, no install. Answer the questions, get your plan back, take it from there.
