Session restore for serverless jobs is now in Beta

BetaAug 17, 2026VerifiedAdded Sep 22, 2026

Restore the Python variables and Spark session from a serverless compute job run into a new interactive notebook, so you can debug a failure or explore results without rerunning the job. Databricks automatically captures a state snapshot when an eligible run fails, runs 30 minutes or longer, or is cancelled, and keeps it for 7 days after the run completes.
