Databricks
Databricks, Inc. is a San Francisco-based software company. It was founded in 2013 by the original creators of Apache Spark. It offers a cloud-based platform for data analytics and artificial intelligence.
Databricks promotes the concept of a 'data lakehouse', which combines elements of data warehouses and data lakes to enable management and analysis of both structured and unstructured data for business analytics and AI applications. The company similarly develops Delta Lake, an open-source project to improve the reliability of data lakes for data science use cases.
Databricks grew out of the AMPLab project at University of California, Berkeley that was involved in making Apache Spark, an open-source distributed computing framework built atop Scala. The company was founded by Ali Ghodsi, Andy Konwinski, Arsalan Tavakoli-Shiraji, Ion Stoica, Matei Zaharia, Patrick Wendell, and Reynold Xin.
In November 2017, the company was announced as a first-party service on Microsoft Azure via integration Azure Databricks.
In February 2021, together with Google Cloud, Databricks provided integration with the Google Kubernetes Engine and Google's BigQuery platform. At this point in time, the company said more than 5,000 organizations used its products.
Fortune ranked Databricks as one of the "Best Large Workplaces for Millennials" in 2021.
In November 2023, Databricks unveiled the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform, a new offering that combines the unification benefits of the lakehouse with MosaicML’s Generative AI technology to enable customers to better understand and use their own proprietary data.
The firm was valued at $62 billion in December 2024, following a funding round that raised one of the largest amounts in history, an equivalent to the largest single AI investment ever made.
