Seamless Power: Lucid Data Hub + Databricks Integration for Enterprise-Grade Gen AI Agent Driven Data Transformation

Together, they unlock agentic Gen AI automation running natively on enterprise-grade Databricks Spark infrastructure — accelerating every step of your data journey from ingestion to insight.

April 15, 2025

In an era where data is the fuel and AI is the engine, the challenge isn’t just collecting data — it’s transforming it into business-ready intelligence fast, securely, and at scale.

That’s exactly what happens when Lucid Data Hub joins forces with Databricks.

Together, they unlock agentic Gen AI automation running natively on enterprise-grade Databricks Spark infrastructure — accelerating every step of your data journey from ingestion to insight.

What is Lucid Data Hub?

Lucid is a Generative AI Agentic Data Lakehouse Platform that helps enterprises automate their most complex data engineering workflows. From profiling and cleansing to modeling and KPI generation, Lucid uses domain-specific intelligence to deliver analytics-ready datasets — without relying on large development teams.

Why the Databricks Integration Matters

Databricks provides the computational muscle — Lucid provides the Industry Domain Specific AI & Data Engineering brain.

Here’s how this tight integration delivers serious impact:

Customer-Hosted, Cloud-Native Deployment

Lucid is deployed directly inside customers Azure or AWS Databricks environments, fully respecting customer's data boundaries and compliance needs.

Security-First by Design

  • Lucid Supports both OAuth 2.0 and PAT Tokens for secure API access
  • Scoped permissions following the Principle of Least Privilege
  • No data ever leaves customers environment
  • Leveraging customer's Databricks workspace and spark compute clusters

AI Agent Execution on Databricks Spark

Lucid’s generative ai agents generates, trigger and orchestrate version-controlled Spark notebooks inside customer's Databricks clusters, transforming raw source data into:

  • Standardized Domain Specific Silver Data Models
  • Enriched Business Use-case specific Gold Models
  • BI-ready Lakehouse datasets

Full Observability

Every job, transformation, and enrichment is tracked, versioned, and auditable, so customer team stays in control.

Lucid Deployment Model

This diagram illustrates how Lucid is deployed within the customer's Azure Cloud, ensuring full control, governance, and compliance:

  • Lucid APIs, Management Portal, Metadata Store, and LLM Models are deployed inside the customer’s managed Azure environment.
  • Authentication and access are handled via Azure Entra ID, OAuth 2.0, and PAT Tokens.
  • All compute workloads run on the customer’s Databricks clusters using Lucid’s Spark Library.
  • Data and logic never leave the cloud and Databricks environment.

Deployment automation is powered by Azure DevOps pipelines, aligning with enterprise DevSecOps practices.

This architecture illustrates the data flow and execution lifecycle inside the Databricks environment:

  • Data Sources: Ingested from on-prem or cloud systems into Databricks
  • Lucid Spark Library: Executes AI-orchestrated logic within Databricks
  • Data Pipelines: Transform raw data into canonical and enriched models
  • Silver Models: Standardized, schema-aligned outputs
  • Gold Models: Enriched outputs ready for analytics and reporting
  • BI-Ready Output: Final data copied into SQL DW or reporting layer

All transformations are driven by Lucid-generated Spark Notebooks, version-controlled and triggered via Databricks REST APIs.

Here’s how it flows:

  1. Raw data ingestion from cloud/on-prem sources into Azure Storage
  2. Lucid Profiles the raw data to understand the meaning of the data to generate recommended industry specif entities, data models, use-cases
  3. Lucid generates and executes AI-curated Spark notebooks via Databricks REST APIs
  4. Models are materialized in your lakehouse: Silver → Gold → Lakehouse (Datalake & SQL DW)
  5. All AI-driven logic and orchestration happens within your Databricks environment

Key Insight: Lucid doesn't just run on Databricks — it amplifies its capabilities with automation, intelligence, and industry context.

Real-World Impact

  • 3x Faster Time to Insight
  • 2x Cost Reduction in Engineering Overhead
  • 100% Control with Zero Data Leakage
  • AI-powered Transformation ETL Code
  • Plug-and-play with Existing Databricks Workspaces

From retail customer 360 models to financial forecasting, Lucid empowers enterprise data teams to deliver business-ready outcomes — faster, smarter, and securely.

Who Should Care?

  • Chief Data Officers: Faster execution, stronger governance
  • Data Architects: Clean integration with Databricks & Azure
  • Analytics Teams: BI-ready outputs with less wait time
  • Sales Engineers & Partners: A future-proof, AI-native story to tell
