"Databricks Bridges Data Engineering and ML with Powerful Scaling and Collaboration"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Databricks?

I like the end to end complexity handling by databricks since it has mature that our gap between data engineering pipelines and machine learning workflows are bridged. The photon and auto scaling spark drastically simplified our large scale computing and also the required custom clusters via kubernetes. Collaborative notebook environment with supports multi language python sequel and scala, and allowed our data engineers to pair program and debug pipeline logic real time which has contributed to reduce total time investigating by 78.2% which is a great thing.

What do you dislike about Databricks?

There are no major dislikes I love the platform and the integrations it provides us with cloud and our data bases secondly they have great pricing range which is going perfectly with our company vision. Talking about improvements I feel that the cic integration using databrikcs bundles required steep learning which could be difficult that's all which I have as an improvement.

What problems is Databricks solving and how is that benefiting you?

Databricks helps us to eliminate the unstructured data before using databricks we were using RAW elementary and unstructured training data sets lived in isolated S3 buckets with analytical reported by databricks we were able to unify these layers into single Lake house giving both BI and AI teams a single source of truth which was a great thing for us. Second it has given us AI readiness one hour production servers with deep rooted LLM learning models so these are things which which we have used databricks for.
