UD4D — Use data for decisions

Unified data and AI platform

Databricks is the Data + AI Platform built on an open lakehouse architecture, bringing one foundation for data engineering, analytics, and AI instead of three separate stacks. It pairs the scale and flexibility of a data lake with the performance of a data warehouse, all on open formats that keep data portable across tools and clouds. Unity Catalog governs data, models, agents, and access from a single place, turning governed data into AI output teams can trust.

DESIGNED TO DELIVER RESULTS

Why choose Databricks?

Databricks gives data and AI teams one governed platform to build on, instead of stitching together a patchwork of engines, catalogs, and point tools.

  • Open lakehouse architecture

    Databricks unifies data lake flexibility with data warehouse performance on open formats like Delta Lake and Apache Iceberg. The same data stays queryable from multiple engines without lock-in and duplication.

  • Unified governance for data and AI

    Unity Catalog governs data, machine learning models, AI agents, and access policies from a single control plane. Lineage, auditing, and access control apply the same way across every workload.

    Unified governance for data and AI
  • AI and machine learning built in

    Agent Bricks and Unity Gateway cover the full ML and generative AI lifecycle, from training and serving models to building and governing AI agents. Teams build directly on governed data, with no separate AI tooling to bolt on.

  • Open, multi-cloud, no lock-in

    Databricks runs natively on AWS, Azure, and GCP and stores data in open formats, so switching tools or clouds never means rearchitecting the data estate underneath them.

AI and machine learning

AI and machine learning

Agent Bricks and Unity Gateway cover the full ML and generative AI lifecycle right on governed data, with nothing to move to a separate platform.

  • MLflow-based model training, tracking, and lifecycle management
  • Model serving for real-time and batch inference
  • Agent Bricks for building and governing production AI agents
  • Unity Gateway to control AI costs and security while giving developers the best AI for every task
Lakebase

Lakebase

Lakebase is a serverless Postgres database built for operational and AI-agent workloads, running on the same governed platform that powers analytics.

  • Serverless Postgres for transactional, application-facing workloads
  • Shared governance and metadata model with the analytical lakehouse
  • Built for low-latency access patterns AI agents need
  • No separate database stack to provision, secure, or maintain
