Databricks is a cloud-based data and AI platform designed to help organizations store, process, analyze, and build machine learning or AI applications on large-scale data.
It is built around the lakehouse architecture, which combines the flexibility of data lakes (for raw structured and unstructured data) with the performance and reliability of data warehouses. This allows teams to work with all types of data in one unified system instead of using separate tools.
The platform provides tools for data engineering, analytics, business intelligence, and machine learning in a single environment. Users can run data pipelines, write SQL queries, build dashboards, and train AI models using distributed computing frameworks like Apache Spark.
