Databricks Command Center

SCube ◈ Databricks power-user toolkit: SQL editor, clusters, FinOps, governance, model serving, repos & AI assist.

Databricks Command Center — by SCube The only Chrome extension purpose-built for Databricks power users. One keyboard shortcut. Every tool you need. WHAT IS IT? Databricks Command Center (DCC) is a comprehensive, AI-powered browser extension that transforms your Databricks workspace into a professional-grade command center. Whether you're a data engineer, analytics engineer, ML practitioner, platform admin, or FinOps lead — DCC gives you a unified cockpit for SQL, compute, cost, governance, ML, and administration without ever leaving Chrome. Built by SCube AI, the team behind BoltForce (Salesforce) and Gmail SyncForce, DCC is the Databricks-native power tool the community has been waiting for. Press Alt+Shift+D and your entire workspace is at your fingertips. Works on AWS, Azure, and GCP Databricks deployments — including Account Console. WHY DCC IS ONE OF A KIND No other extension covers the full Databricks stack the way DCC does: 17 standalone full-page tools covering every Databricks surface area 10-tab popup hub with 50+ sub-tabs accessible from any browser page 6 AI providers with Bring Your Own Key — your data never touches SCube servers Persistent overlays that enrich the native Databricks UI with cost chips, hover previews, and a command palette Zero-setup authentication — piggybacks your active browser session, no PAT required to get started Multi-cloud — one extension for AWS, Azure, and GCP workspaces CORE HUB — 10-Tab Popup (Alt+Shift+D) The popup is your command center home. Ten tabs organized across two rows give you instant access to every capability: Home — Quick search, action grid shortcuts, saved workspaces, and an onboarding tracker so new team members ramp up fast. SQL & Data — Inline SQL editor, query history, saved queries, warehouse selector, and direct AI actions (generate, optimize, explain, review) without opening a full page. Compute — Live cluster and warehouse status with start/stop controls, idle radar, and instance pool management. Catalog — Browse the Unity Catalog tree (catalogs → schemas → tables), full-text table search, and system table access. Spend — Month-to-date spend overview, top spending cluster, DBU hours, idle savings estimate, and budget alert status. Jobs — Active and recent job runs, DLT pipeline status, and slowest-query performance highlights. Govern — Unity Catalog grants, 24-hour audit log snapshot, user/group directory. Admin — Workspace info, token inventory, secret scopes, API explorer, account connection. Repos — Your workspace repos with branch/tag switching and change status. Settings — Connection config, AI provider setup, appearance, keyboard shortcuts, and settings import/export. 17 FULL-PAGE TOOLS — DEEP WORKFLOWS 1. SQL Editor A multi-tab SQL workspace with syntax highlighting, catalog-aware autocomplete, warehouse and cluster selection, query history, and one-click export to CSV, Excel, or JSON. Run queries and get results without navigating to Databricks UI. 2. AI Assistant A dedicated two-pane AI workspace. Left pane: your prompt and context chips. Right pane: generated SQL, optimized code, or review findings. Context chips let you inject your schema, billing tables, query history, and Delta Lake patterns into every AI request — so the AI knows your environment, not just generic SQL. Modes: NL → SQL: Describe what you want in plain English, get production-ready Databricks SQL Optimize: Paste a slow query, get a rewrite with Z-ORDER, OPTIMIZE, partitioning, and caching recommendations Explain: Get plain-English breakdowns in Simple, Technical, or Step-by-Step mode Code Review: Full audit for security issues, performance bottlenecks, Delta best practices, schema evolution safety, and error handling 3. Catalog Browser Three-panel tree navigator (catalogs → schemas → tables) with a table inspector showing full schema, sample rows, metadata, and column statistics. Includes column-level data lineage visualization and full-text search across your entire catalog. 4. Cluster Manager Start, stop, and restart clusters and SQL warehouses. View node types, auto-termination settings, and live status. The Idle Radar uniquely flags running resources with zero activity over a configurable threshold (15 min – 1 hr) so you can kill wasted compute before it drains your budget. 5. FinOps Dashboard The industry's most complete cost management tool for Databricks in a browser extension: KPI strip: MTD spend, top cluster, DBU hours, estimated idle waste Spend breakdown by cluster, user, team tag, and SKU Cost attribution engine (who's spending what, and on which resources) Budget threshold alerts (daily, weekly, monthly) Forecast and trend analysis Powered by system.billing.usage — no external data pipeline required 6. Job Monitor Last 20 job runs with live state indicators (running, success, failed, cancelled). Drill into any run to see logs, task status, and retry history. DLT pipeline status included. Never miss a failed job again. 7. Governance Center Unity Catalog grants matrix showing every principal-privilege-object relationship in your workspace. Effective access calculator to answer "can this user query this table?" Audit log viewer pulling the last 24 hours from system.access.audit. User and group management with bulk role actions. 8. Admin Console Full workspace administration without logging in as admin in the UI: Feature flag editor User and service principal management (SCIM) Cluster policy editor PAT token inventory, expiry audit, and bulk revoke IP allow/block list management Secret scope and secret manager REST API explorer workbench for ad-hoc API calls 9. Notebook Search Full-text search across all workspace notebooks — by name, content, or cell type. Snippet manager for reusable code blocks. Notebook diff viewer. Code preview with highlight matching. Find that query you wrote six months ago in seconds. 10. Model Registry MLflow model browser with a tree of registered models and versions. Track Production, Staging, and Archived versions. View run history and compare models side by side. 11. Model Serving Serving endpoint status dashboard with health, latency, and deployment history. Built-in quick query interface — type a prompt and see the response without leaving the extension. Monitor all endpoints at a glance. 12. Vector Search Index list with real-time sync status (ONLINE, SYNCING, FAILED, OFFLINE). Semantic query builder with result cards showing similarity scores. Create, delete, and trigger sync for vector indexes. 13. Delta Sharing Share management interface: create shares, manage recipients, track expiry, configure providers, and audit share activity — all without the Databricks UI. 14. Repos Manager Workspace repos list with branch/tag switching, pull-all action, and change status indicators (clean, modified, added, deleted). 15. DBFS Explorer Two-panel layout with tree navigation and file view. Breadcrumb navigation, upload, download, delete, and mount points browser. 16. Settings Hub Workspace connection and auth method configuration. Per- major provider AI keys . Appearance settings (dark mode). SQL editor defaults. Floating button configuration. Keyboard shortcut rebinding. Full settings import/export as JSON. 17. Welcome Wizard Step-by-step onboarding with feature walkthrough and setup checklist — so every new team member is productive on day one. AI FEATURES — 6 PROVIDERS, BRING YOUR OWN KEY DCC supports six AI providers. Your data goes directly from your browser to your chosen provider — SCube never sees it. What the AI can do: Generate Databricks SQL from plain English with full schema context Optimize slow queries with actionable rewrites and EXPLAIN-plan analysis Explain any SQL in three modes (Simple, Technical, Step-by-Step) Perform code review against security, performance, and Delta best practices Diagnose job failures with root cause analysis and fix suggestions Summarize table purpose from schema and sample data Explain notebook cells in plain English PERSISTENT OVERLAYS — AI AND COST EVERYWHERE IN DATABRICKS Content scripts inject into every Databricks page to enrich the native UI: Floating Launch Button (S³) — A persistent launcher in the corner of every Databricks page. Customizable with up to 10 quick-action shortcuts per user. Cost Overlay Chips — Every cluster, warehouse, job, and notebook page shows an inline $/hour chip with idle status. Know the cost of every action without switching tabs. Table Hover Preview — Hover over any table name anywhere in Databricks and get an instant tooltip with schema, row count, freshness, and a 5-row sample. No navigation required. Command Palette (Alt+K) — Fuzzy search across all tools, clusters, jobs, tables, and notebooks. Jump anywhere in two keystrokes. Keyboard Shortcuts — Global shortcuts for every major tool, all rebindable in Settings: Alt+Shift+D — Open Command Center popup Alt+Shift+S — SQL Editor Alt+Shift+C — Cluster Manager Alt+Shift+B — Catalog Browser Alt+K — Command Palette Shift+? — Shortcuts help modal SECURITY & PRIVACY DCC is built with security as a first principle: Tokens stored locally — All credentials are stored exclusively in chrome.storage.local. Nothing is synced to Chrome sync, and nothing is sent to SCube servers. Tokens excluded from export — When you export settings, API keys and PATs are stripped. Share your config file without exposing credentials. Zero data collection — SCube does not collect telemetry, usage data, or workspace metadata. BYOK AI — AI queries go browser → your chosen provider. SCube is never in the path. Content Security Policy — Extension pages enforce script-src 'self'; object-src 'self'. Admin safety — Mutations require typed confirmation. Production environment changes show a red confirmation dialog. Bulk operations support dry-run mode. MULTI-CLOUD — AWS, AZURE, GCP DCC works on all three Databricks cloud deployments: AWS: *.cloud.databricks.com Azure: *.azuredatabricks.net GCP: *.gcp.databricks.com Account Console across all clouds Switch between workspaces from the Home tab. Saved workspaces let you jump between dev, staging, and production in one click. DESIGN — DARK MODE & DATABRICKS-NATIVE THEMING DCC is designed to feel like a native part of Databricks: Databricks red (#ff3621) accent throughout Full dark mode (system-aware or forced) Environment badges — Production (red), Staging (amber), Dev (green) — so you always know which workspace you're in Responsive, accessible UI that matches Databricks' visual language GETTING STARTED Install the extension Navigate to any Databricks workspace page Press Alt+Shift+D (or click the toolbar icon) DCC auto-detects your workspace and piggybacks your browser session — no PAT required Optionally add an AI provider key in Settings to unlock the AI suite Optionally configure a SQL warehouse in Settings for FinOps and catalog features That's it. No server setup. No account creation. No data leaves your browser.
