​About the Session

​Join us for the next Lakehouse, Lagers & Legends [Virtual] session as we explore Unity AI Gateway, one of the latest innovations announced at Databricks Summit 2026.

​In this session, we'll dive into how Unity AI Gateway helps organizations securely manage, govern, and monitor AI models and large language models (LLMs) across different providers. We'll cover the key capabilities introduced at Summit, including centralized AI governance, model routing, usage tracking, and built-in observability, while discussing how these features simplify enterprise AI adoption.

​Through practical examples, you'll learn how Unity AI Gateway enables teams to securely connect AI applications to foundation models, enforce governance policies, monitor performance and costs, and build production-ready AI solutions with confidence.

​Whether you attended Databricks Summit or are catching up on the latest innovations, this session will give you a clear understanding of Unity AI Gateway, its role in the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform, and how it helps organizations scale generative AI securely and efficiently.

​Why Join Lakehouse, Lagers & Legends [Virtual]?

​Each month, we'll spotlight the most important announcements from Databricks through live and in-person technical sessions, practical demos, and open discussions with the community.

​About Lakehouse, Lagers & Legends

​What started as a few meetups for data engineers has turned into a worldwide community of people who live and breathe data. Each event blends two things our crowd cares about most: sharp, practical sessions on the latest in data engineering and a relaxed setting to trade ideas over a cold drink.

​Every stop is a little different- new city, new voices, fresh conversations, but the core stays the same: bring smart people together, share real-world lessons, and spark collaborations that carry on long after the night ends.
