Use when asked to: CRUD serving endpoints (CLI or MLflow Deployments client); configure traffic routing for A/B / canary deploys and zero-downtime version swaps; retrieve OpenAPI schemas; inspect logs, metrics, or permissions; manage AI Gateway rate limits; discover Foundation Model API endpoints at runtime; integrate endpoints into Databricks Apps; or stream from off-platform clients (Vercel AI SDK v6, standalone Node.js). NOT for: training, MLflow autologging, UC registration, custom PyFunc/ResponsesAgent authoring (databricks-ml-training); Knowledge Assistants/Supervisor Agents (databricks-agent-bricks); MLflow evaluation (databricks-mlflow-evaluation).

Generate realistic synthetic data using Spark + Faker (strongly recommended). Supports serverless execution, multiple output formats (Parquet/JSON/CSV/Delta), and scales from thousands to millions of rows. For small datasets (<10K rows), can optionally generate locally and upload to volumes. Use when user mentions 'synthetic data', 'test data', 'generate data', 'demo dataset', 'Faker', or 'sample data'.

Comprehensive guide to Spark Structured Streaming for production workloads. Use when building streaming pipelines, working with Kafka ingestion, implementing Real-Time Mode (RTM), configuring triggers (processingTime, availableNow), handling stateful operations with watermarks, optimizing checkpoints, performing stream-stream or stream-static joins, writing to multiple sinks, or tuning streaming cost and performance.

Migrate Databricks workloads from classic compute to serverless compute. Use when migrating notebooks, jobs, pipelines, or Scala JARs (`spark_jar_task`) from classic clusters to serverless, checking if existing code is serverless-compatible, or writing new serverless-compatible code. Provides concrete fixes for the serverless Spark Connect architecture and guides the full migration. Not for classic DBR version upgrades or cluster configuration changes within classic compute.

Unity Catalog governance, access control, and observability. Use to grant or revoke access (GRANT/REVOKE), reason about the privilege model and ownership, set up row-level security and column masks, create external locations and storage credentials, define catalogs/schemas/tables/volumes, answer \"who can read this table\", and query system tables (audit, lineage, billing) or work with volume files in /Volumes/.
