Databricks provides an Apache Spark based analytics platform on three of the largest cloud service providers: Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS and Google GCP.
Founded by Spark developers, Databricks focuses on monetizing the open source Big Data system Apache Spark by providing a unified and simple user experience. It is used for building large Data Lakes, to implement real-time streaming use cases or to replace large ETL processes.
The Databricks platform propose a workspace to write data centric applications in Spark. The Databricks eco-system is enriched with Delta Lake to expose and manage the data stored in the data lake, MLFlow to develop and operate machine learning pipelines and Databricks SQL to build a multi-cloud data warehouse for business analytics.
Adaltas specialized in Big Data and is a Databricks partner. Our Databricks certified consultants provide support and training mainly in France and the Paris area.
