Workspace
You'll learn how to create and schedule a Lakeflow Job using the Databricks Workspace in ~10 min.
Prereqs: Build the first pipeline
What you'll walk away with
A scheduled Lakeflow Job running in your workspace, built entirely in the browser. You add the tasks, wire up their order, set a schedule, and watch it run, with no config files to write. Start here before moving to DABs for production.

How it works
The Jobs page in the Workspace is where you build workflows visually. You add tasks (notebooks, pipelines, SQL), set the order they run in, attach a schedule, and configure retries and notifications.

When to reach for the Workspace
Build here when you are setting up your first job and want to see it run quickly, when you need an ad-hoc or one-off workflow, or when you want to prototype a task graph before writing it as code.
Switch to DABs when the job has to be version-controlled and deployed across environments, or when you want the pipelines, schemas, and compute defined alongside the job.
