Declarative Automation Bundles mutators let you define job parameters once in a central config file and inject them into every job automatically at deploy time — no more copy-pasting catalog names, schema paths, and environment variables across your bundle. This post walks through a working implementation with full code examples.

Naming conventions only work if they're enforced — and a Confluence page nobody reads isn't enforcement. This post walks through using Databricks Workspace Skills to make naming rules executable in Genie Code, then scaling that to a catalog-wide audit agent built with Databricks Apps and DABS. The result is automated, repeatable governance that runs without requiring engineers to opt in.

As teams migrate infrastructure definitions into Declarative Automation Bundles, Terraform still owns the Azure layer — Key Vaults, resource groups, networking. This post walks through a clean, CI/CD-ready pattern for passing Terraform outputs directly into bundle variable overrides, eliminating manual config steps and the environment drift that follows them.
