The EU Digital Product Passport: a traceability deadline
Summary
The EU battery passport will mandate end-to-end product traceability by February 2027, turning regulatory compliance across global supply chains into an urgent data availability and quality challenge. Databricks addresses this with an open Solution Accelerator that provides the data foundation required to satisfy the mandate, strengthen supply-chain resilience, and deliver audit-ready sustainability reporting.

Unifying governance across engines and catalogs in the Open Lakehouse
Apache Iceberg now has two new specs, read restrictions and catalog labels, that standardize policy enforcement across engines and catalogs by letting trusted engines handle access decisions directly and making governance metadata portable across federated catalogs. Together with centralized enforcement for untrusted engines, they give the Open Lakehouse a clear governance model covering every access pattern.
Improving Lakebase Postgres compute cache
Lakebase Postgres now runs an autoscaling cache that works alongside shared buffers to keep more data resident on compute instead of falling back to the storage layer. In production this delivered 2x throughput, fewer storage-layer reads, and lower latency compared to standard Postgres caching.
Five AI Questions We're Hearing from Financial Services Leaders
Transitioning financial services AI from pilot projects to governed production deployments hinges on addressing five key questions shaping the industry. Learn how Databricks unifies data, AI, and governance across financial crime, banking, and wealth-management workflows, and connect with leaders at Sibos 2026 in Miami.
A practical approach to end-to-end Solvency II reporting in Databricks
Databricks now supports Solvency II end to end, connecting data ingestion, reserving, capital calculation, governance, and disclosure into a single workflow instead of fragmented systems and teams. A demo shows how this unified approach delivers one control view, governed automation, AI-assisted review, and faster scenario analysis for reporting readiness.
Beyond embedding: How to secure AI/BI Dashboards for every viewer
A single AI/BI dashboard can now serve every viewer securely: one entitlements table plus the signed embed token's __aibi_external_value control row-level access per viewer, so teams avoid duplicating dashboards or repeating filters across queries. Access is driven by identity-provider group membership rather than manually maintained user lists, and the pattern layers default-deny protections—masked columns, refused tokens for unentitled viewers, and Unity Catalog row filters—for defense in depth.
Introducing Consort: Test-driven development on a branching database
Consort brings test-driven development to database branching, giving each branch its own isolated copy of data so tests run against realistic state without touching production. The post walks through what changes when your database can branch like code, demonstrates an agentic development workflow built on it, and shows how to try Consort yourself.
