sleepybricks wraps the databricks SDK with a Typer CLI so a single command fans out across all your workspaces — run SQL, trigger jobs, sync secrets, publish notebooks, audit groups, and more. It authenticates from your existing ~/.databrickscfg and prints a tidy per-workspace table for every operation.

Install

uv tool install sleepybricks     # or: pipx install sleepybricks

Optional, for the impatient: alias bricks='sleepybricks'.

-v / --version prints the version and best-effort checks PyPI for a newer release — it works even when placed within another command (sleepybricks sql … --version).

Authenticate

Profiles come from ~/.databrickscfg — the same file the databricks CLI uses. Most commands take a comma-separated profile list (dev,stg,us); groups-audit is the account-scoped exception. A missing file or unknown profile fails fast with a clear message.

databricks configure --token     # once per workspace/profile

Output is a per-workspace table styled by your config, decorated with a per-profile emoji + name. Add --json to any command for structured, pipeline-friendly output.

Configure

sleepybricks is a sleepy util and reads its settings from the shared ~/sleepyconfig/params.yml, using the bricks_ key prefix. If the file is absent it writes only its own section (below) and says so; if a value it needs is missing it prints this snippet and asks you to verify your config.

# sleepybricks
bricks_table_style: simple                                  # any tabulate style (rounded_grid, github, …)
bricks_serverless_warehouse_name: <env>_serverless_warehouse # <env> → the active profile name
bricks_env_emojis:
  dev: "👩‍💻"
  stg: "🔧"
  us: "🇺🇸"
bricks_display_names:
  dev: "Development"
  stg: "Staging"
  us: "United States"
bricks_personal_cluster_name: personal_cluster              # ensured by update-clusters
bricks_personal_cluster_policy: "Personal Compute"          # must already exist in the workspace

• bricks_table_style — any tabulate table style.
• bricks_serverless_warehouse_name — SQL warehouse for sql; the <env> token becomes the active profile name (use a static value if it's the same everywhere).
• bricks_env_emojis / bricks_display_names — how each profile is labeled in output.
• bricks_personal_cluster_name / bricks_personal_cluster_policy — used only by update-clusters.

Commands at a glance

sql

Run one statement across workspaces on each one's serverless SQL warehouse (resolved from config).

$ sleepybricks sql -s "select region, count(*) tenants from tenants group by region" dev,stg

─── 👩‍💻 Development (dev) ───
region     tenants
---------  -------
us-west-2     1043
eu-west-1      512

─── 🔧 Staging (stg) ───
region     tenants
---------  -------
us-west-2       12

--sum <column> — totals a column per workspace and across all of them:

$ sleepybricks sql -s "select amount from invoices" dev,stg --sum amount

Workspace              sum(amount)
---------------------  -----------
👩‍💻 Development (dev)     182500.75
🔧 Staging (stg)             432.10
TOTAL                     182932.85

--out <path> — write every workspace's rows to one CSV (leading profile column; .csv enforced):

$ sleepybricks sql -f ./audit.sql dev,stg --out ./audit

Workspace              Rows written
---------------------  ------------
👩‍💻 Development (dev)   1555
🔧 Staging (stg)          12

Wrote 1567 rows to audit.csv

Also: --as-sp <application_id> runs the query as a service principal (OAuth M2M; secret from $SLEEPYBRICKS_SP_SECRET) instead of you, and --json emits structured results. --out and --sum are mutually exclusive.

run-job

Trigger a job by exact, case-sensitive name. Job names aren't unique — if more than one matches in a workspace, nothing runs there and the count is reported.

$ sleepybricks run-job "Nightly ETL" dev,stg,eu

Workspace              Job ID  Status
---------------------  ------  -------------------------------------------
👩‍💻 Development (dev)   42      ✅ started: https://dev…/jobs/42/runs/9107
🔧 Staging (stg)        -       (not found)
🇺🇸 United States (eu)   -       ⚠️ 2 jobs share this name — not run

dash-links

Find a dashboard's published link everywhere (case-sensitive; first match per workspace, with a warning on duplicates).

$ sleepybricks dash-links "Triage Device Metrics" dev,eu

✨ Triage Device Metrics ✨

Workspace              Link
---------------------  ---------------------------------------------------
👩‍💻 Development (dev)   https://dev…/dashboardsv3/a1b2c3/published
🇺🇸 United States (eu)   https://eu…/dashboardsv3/d4e5f6/published

groups-audit

Account-scoped (no profile list): list each account group with its users. The account profile is auto-detected from ~/.databrickscfg. --inactive keeps only deactivated users (likely departed); --users <emails> filters to specific people. Either filter hides groups with no matches.

$ sleepybricks groups-audit --inactive

=== Engineering (1) ===
Email          Display Name    Active
-------------  --------------  ------
bob@corp.com   Bob Stone       False

=== Data (1) ===
Email           Display Name    Active
--------------  --------------  ------
carol@corp.com  Carol Diaz      False

write-secret / create-scope

Create secret scopes and write secrets across workspaces. The secret value is never a CLI argument — it's read from $SLEEPYBRICKS_SECRET_STAGE (keeps it out of shell history and ps).

$ sleepybricks create-scope quant dev,stg

Workspace              Scope   Status
---------------------  ------  -----------------
👩‍💻 Development (dev)   quant   ✅ created
🔧 Staging (stg)        quant   ↩️ already existed

$ export SLEEPYBRICKS_SECRET_STAGE='s3cr3t-value'
$ sleepybricks write-secret quant.api_key dev,stg

Workspace              Scope   Key      Status
---------------------  ------  -------  ----------
👩‍💻 Development (dev)   quant   api_key  ✅ written
🔧 Staging (stg)        quant   api_key  ✅ written

pull-repo

Pull the latest commit for a git repo (matched by name within its workspace path) in each workspace.

$ sleepybricks pull-repo databricks_templates dev,stg

Workspace              Repo                                        Branch  Status
---------------------  ------------------------------------------  ------  ----------------
👩‍💻 Development (dev)   /Repos/dingus@company.com/databricks_…      main    ✅ pulled @ 3f9a1c2
🔧 Staging (stg)        /Repos/dingus@company.com/databricks_…      main    ✅ pulled @ 3f9a1c2

put-file

Upload a local file/notebook to the same path in each workspace (overwrites). Notebook source (.py, .sql, .scala, .r, .ipynb) sent to a workspace path lands as a notebook; DBFS//FileStore paths go to DBFS.

$ sleepybricks put-file ./tools/audit.py /Users/dingus@company.com/Tools/audit dev,stg

Workspace              Target                                     Status
---------------------  -----------------------------------------  ----------------------
👩‍💻 Development (dev)   /Users/dingus@company.com/Tools/audit      ✅ uploaded → notebook
🔧 Staging (stg)        /Users/dingus@company.com/Tools/audit      ✅ uploaded → notebook

propagate-file

Edit a notebook in one workspace, then push it to the others at the same path (overwrites; a notebook stays a notebook). Reports created vs. overwritten per target.

$ sleepybricks propagate-file dev /Users/dingus@company.com/Tools/audit qa,stg

Propagating '/Users/dingus@company.com/Tools/audit' from 'dev' to 2 workspace(s)...

Workspace              Path                                       Status
---------------------  -----------------------------------------  --------------
🧪 QA (qa)              /Users/dingus@company.com/Tools/audit      ✅ created
🔧 Staging (stg)        /Users/dingus@company.com/Tools/audit      ✅ overwritten

create-workspace-folder

Make a workspace folder in each workspace (idempotent — existing folders are skipped).

$ sleepybricks create-workspace-folder /Shared/quant dev,stg

Workspace              Path            Status
---------------------  --------------  -----------------
👩‍💻 Development (dev)   /Shared/quant   ✅ created
🔧 Staging (stg)        /Shared/quant   ↩️ already existed

update-clusters

Ensure a pinned, single-user, latest-LTS personal cluster (name + policy from config) in each workspace. Creates it when missing, rebuilds it when on an old runtime, or just (re)pins it when current.

$ sleepybricks update-clusters dev,stg

Workspace              Cluster ID          Status
---------------------  ------------------  ------------------------------------------
👩‍💻 Development (dev)   0729-1a2b3c-abcd    ✅ created + pinned
🔧 Staging (stg)        0729-9z8y7x-wxyz    ✅ rebuilt to 15.4.x-scala2.12 (was 13.3…)

snippets

Local cheat sheets — no workspace calls for paths; workspaces summarizes your configured profiles.

$ sleepybricks snippets workspaces

Display Name    Profile  URL                                 Cloud  Region
--------------  -------  ----------------------------------  -----  ---------
Development     dev      https://dev…cloud.databricks.com     aws    us-west-2
Staging         stg      https://stg…cloud.databricks.com     aws    us-west-2

$ sleepybricks snippets paths     # workspace vs dbfs:/ vs /dbfs/ vs /Volumes reference

Development

uv venv
uv pip install -e ".[dev]"
uv run pytest          # or ./tools/test.sh

Tests use fakes for the databricks client and never touch a real workspace.
