Databricks developed a self-serve infrastructure vending machine, called the Field Engineering Vending Machine (FEVM), to address growing pains at scale as its GTM organization expanded to over 7,000 people, requiring isolated, governed, and cost-aware cloud resources on demand. FEVM leverages Databricks-native components and agents as first-class citizens to enable field engineering teams to build with velocity, leverage an agent-first framework at scale, and move as fast as technology changes. The vending machine is designed to provide a simple and fast way for field engineers to provision isolated, governed, and use-case-specific cloud resources. AI summary
