Databricks Bundle Inspector
A VS Code extension that visualizes Databricks Bundles as interactive job dependency graphs. See the actual structure of your bundle jobs, task dependencies, and configurations at a glance.
What it does
Open a databricks.yml file and run Inspect Databricks Bundle to see:
- Visual DAG: Interactive graph of jobs and
depends_on relationships with pan, zoom, and search.
- Task details: Type, source file, parameters, compute, and dependencies.
- Issue detection: Missing files, unresolved variables, unknown task types, and Databricks CLI diagnostics.
- Layout controls: Automatic graph layout to keep parallel branches visually separated.
Requirements
The Databricks CLI must be installed and available on your PATH, or configured via the databricksBundleInspector.cliPath VS Code setting.
Usage
- Open a folder containing a
databricks.yml or databricks.yaml file.
- Open the bundle file in the editor.
- Click Inspect Databricks Bundle (editor title bar button) or right-click and select the command.
The graph opens in a new editor panel. It refreshes automatically when you save the bundle file or related configurations.

How it works
The extension runs databricks bundle validate --output json to resolve your bundle structure, builds a dependency graph from the jobs and their depends_on relationships, and renders it as an interactive visual DAG using React Flow.
