When a region goes down, every minute counts. Until now, achieving disaster recovery on a lakehouse meant stitching together brittle, DIY replication pipelines metadata, data, and workspace assets. Today, we're changing that. Managed Disaster Recovery brings turnkey, cross-region resilience to the Databricks Lakehouse. In this session, we'll introduce for the first time Databricks' Managed Disaster Recovery offering. We'll cover: - The architecture: how UC replication, data replication, and workspace asset replication work together under one unified API to deliver 15-minute RPO and RTO targets - What gets replicated — and what we learned building DR for managed tables, Managed Iceberg, and workspace assets at scale - Live demo: we'll create a failover group, watch replication in action, trigger a forced failover, and show applications seamlessly reconnecting through Stable URLs — all in real time Whether you're in financial services with strict RTO mandates, running mission-critical ML pipelines, or simply tired of the "what's our DR plan?" question having no good answer, this session will show you how to go from unprotected to fully resilient in minutes — not months.

In this session, learn about why modern open table formats like Delta and Iceberg are a big deal and how they work with catalogs. Learn about what motivated their creation, how they work, what benefits they can bring to your data and AI platform. Hear about how these formats are becoming increasingly interoperable and what our vision is for their future.

What if you could simplify data management, boost performance, and cut costs-all at once? Join us to discover how Unity Catalog managed tables can slash your storage costs, supercharge query speeds, and automate optimizations with AI on the Data Intelligence Platform. Experience seamless interoperability with third-party clients, and be among the first to preview our new game-changing tool that makes moving to UC managed tables effortless.
