About Databricks

Databricks is the Data and AI company. More than 10,000 organizations worldwide — including Block, Comcast, Condé Nast, Rivian, Shell and over 60% of the Fortune 500 — rely on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform to take control of their data and put it to work with AI. Databricks is headquartered in San Francisco, with offices around the globe and was founded by the original creators of Lakehouse, Apache Spark, Delta Lake and MLflow.

Key Facts

Databricks empowers companies to capitalize on their data by developing open-source software for data processing and AI applications and offering paid versions with additional proprietary features for enterprises. Databricks addresses challenges such as complex legacy infrastructure, data silos, and high latency by implementing data lakes. These storage repositories ingest and maintain large amounts of raw data in native format, enabling on-demand access and analytics for deeper insights.

The Databricks Data Intelligence Platform empowers organizations to leverage data and AI across their entire operation. Built on a lakehouse architecture, it provides an open, unified foundation for data and governance, driven by a Data Intelligence Engine that adapts to the unique characteristics of each user’s data.

The core of the Databricks platform is its Lakehouse architecture, built on the open-source Apache Spark framework, enabling analytical queries on semi-structured data. The platform also supports open-source tools like Delta Lake and MLflow, with built-in security and governance through Unity Catalog to streamline large-scale data projects.

Databricks initially specialized in Apache Spark, enabling the querying of large, unstructured datasets stored in data lakes. Over time, the company has expanded its offerings to include products for related markets, such as AI lifecycle management and MLOps (MLflow), data warehousing (Delta Lake), and data visualization (Redash).

Databricks provides a pay-as-you-go pricing model with no upfront costs, using Databricks Units (DBUs) to measure and price processing power on its Lakehouse Platform. DBU consumption is determined by workload processing metrics, including the compute resources utilized and the volume of data processed.

In 2024, Databricks also completed a series of acquisitions in its most recent fiscal year, including the purchases of MosaicML, Arcion, Okera, Einblick, and Rubicon. These acquisitions, as well as Databricks' recently-announced investment in Mistral AI, have positioned the company as the platform to help enterprises take advantage of generative AI – securely and with their own proprietary data.
