- Databricks develops and sells a cloud data platform based on a modern lakehouse data architecture. Databricks’ lakehouse is based on the open source Apache Spark framework that allows users to run analytical queries against semi-structured, schemaless data. Databricks’ Delta Engine launched in June 2020 as a new query engine that layers on top of Delta Lake to accelerate SQL processing and boost overall performance. It is compatible with Apache Spark and MLflow, which are also open source projects from Databricks. In November 2020, Databricks introduced SQL Analytics, which allows users to run BI and analytics reporting directly on data lakes. Analysts can query data sets directly with standard SQL or, use new product connectors to integrate directly with popular BI tools like Tableau, Qlik, Looker and ThoughtSpot. Companies use Databricks as a centralized platform for data workloads like machine learning, data storage and processing, streaming analytics and business intelligence.
