Databricks has added new data warehousing, data governance, data sharing, machine learning and data engineering capabilities to its Databricks Lakehouse Platform databricks.com/company/newsro…
My POV (1/3): Data governance is fundamentally important for accelerated business intelligence and regulatory compliance. Our research shows the more #datacatalog users an organization has, the greater trust it has in its data ventanaresearch.com/press-release/…
My POV (2/3): Data lineage in Unity Catalog and secure data sharing with Cleanrooms are significant additions to @databricks’ #datagovernance capabilities. Meanwhile Delta Live Tables provides a declarative approach to building data pipelines.
My POV (3/3): The preview availability of serverless compute for Databricks SQL is also important in facilitating adoption of data warehousing on the #lakehouse, while Databricks SQL query federation adds the ability to query external data sources.
Databricks had announced new contributions to the Delta Lake and MLflow open source projects and the launch of Project Lightspeed, the next generation of the Spark streaming engine. databricks.com/company/newsro…
My POV (1/3): Interesting to see @databricks’ ‘rejuvenated’ commitment to streaming with new initiative to enhance Spark Structured Streaming with improved predictable low latency data processing as well as a new decoupled interface with Spark Connect
My POV (2/3): Important to see @databricks enhancing @DeltaLakeOSS with Delta Lake 2.0, bringing it up to date with advanced functionality created and previously available via Databricks Lakehouse Platform, including cloning, identity columns and subqueries in deletes and updates
Starburst has announced the acquisition of Varada, which offers data lake caching and indexing for analytivcs acceleration prnewswire.com/in/news-releas…
My POV (1/3): This is a good move by Starburst Varada was already working with Trino and was a Starburst partner, so the combination is highly complementary.
My POV (2/3): It adds further data lake analytics acceleration capabilities to Starburst’s platform through Varada’s caching and indexing functionality, as well as its workload observability capabilities.
