This is such an amazing improvement. Now you can make Altair charts over large data without having to install Vega Fusion separately.
Replying to @vega_vis
The @vegafusion_io data transformer has been integrated with the JupyterChart jupyter widget to enable scaling many interactive Vega-Altair charts to millions of rows. Here is an example of histogram cross filtering with a 1 million row dataset.

Databricks UI is really coming along. Huge improvements and new features coming across the app! Good things happen when you quadruple the number of frontend engineers and designers 😊
