About

AI has changed the way we build. What used to take teams of engineers months to ship can now happen in minutes, if you know how to use the right tools. Databricks AppQuest is here to show you how.

Together with AngelHack, Databricks brings you a hands-on learning campaign built for developers and tech professionals who want to get ahead of the curve. You'll explore how agentic tools are reshaping data and app development, and get practical, guided experience building on the Databricks platform - from your first template to a fully deployed app.

Across 5 quests, you'll learn to build with Databricks Apps, manage data with Lakebase Postgres, and deploy agentic applications faster with AppKit. By the end, you won't just understand the theory, you'll have shipped something real, and you'll be ready to keep building long after the campaign ends.
