5. inteligencija.com The story about Databricks • The team who built Apache Spark founded Databricks in 2013 • They started several OSS projects: • Apache Spark • Delta Lake • MLFlow • Invented the Data Lakehouse concept • Named leader by Gartner in both • Database Management Systems

6. inteligencija.com • 7000+ customers • 3000+ employees • Received more than $3B in funding

7. inteligencija.com Data Lakehouse Concept • Marries Data Warehouses and Data Lakes • Data Warehouses • Built for efficient BI and reporting • But: • Poor support for unstructured data, data science and streaming • Closed formats • Expensive to scale

8. inteligencija.com Data Lakehouse Concept • Data Lakes • Store any kind of data • Cheap storage • Allow for exploratory data analysis and streaming UCs • However: • Complex to set up • Poor BI performance • Often devolve into data swamps

9. inteligencija.com Gartner insights • 85% of Big Data and Data Science projects fail • $3.9T business value created by AI in 2022 (by the 15% ?) • Why do Data Science projects fail? • Recent MIT Technology Review survey of 600 C-level executives: “72% percent of the technology executives we surveyed for this study say that, should their companies fail to achieve their AI goals, data issues are more likely than not to be the reason. Improving processing speeds, governance, and quality of data, as well as its sufficiency for models, are the main data imperatives to ensure AI can be scaled, say the survey respondents.”

10. inteligencija.com The usual problems • Ill-defined use cases • Data warehouses and data lakes in separate silos: • Data often duplicated and/or difficult to access (formats, interfaces) • Difficult to consolidate security models • Difficult to apply governance

11. inteligencija.com Databricks Lakehouse Platform - benefits • Unifies Data Warehouse and AI use cases on a single platform • Built on open source and open standards • Consistent across cloud providers (Azure, AWS, GCP) • Provides ACID transactions • Schema enforcement capabilities • In one platform: • Data Warehousing • Data Engineering • Data Streaming • Data Science and ML • Data Governance

18. inteligencija.com Computing resources • Clusters • One or more VM instances running Spark components: Driver and Executors • Required for running notebooks, jobs, pipelines, … • All-purpose clusters and job clusters • SQL Warehouses (formerly „SQL Endpoints”) • Optimized for BI workloads • Required for running anything in SQL Workspace • For exploring data, running queries, alerts, …

19. inteligencija.com Accounts for cloud resources

20. inteligencija.com Databricks Lakehouse Platform – technical foundations • Apache Spark • Delta Lake and Delta Live Tables • MLFlow • Jupyter Notebooks • Jobs and Pipelines

21. inteligencija.com Apache Spark • General-purpose, distributed data processing engine • Efficient and fast • Spark SQL, Spark Streaming, Spark ML • APIs in Java, Scala, Python, R • Widely used today – ubiquitous • Databricks provides Photon execution engine on top

22. inteligencija.com Jupyter notebooks • Web-based, interactive and collaborative • Databricks supports Python, SQL, R and Scala • Can also serve as documentation (can be exported to HTML, PDF, etc.) • Can be executed as jobs in Databricks and organized in Pipelines • In Databricks attached to clusters

23. inteligencija.com Delta Lake • Data storage framework built on top of Parquet • Provides ACID transactions; upserts (MERGE statements) and deletes • Schema enforcement • Time travel • Scalable metadata handling • Unifies streaming and batch processing

24. inteligencija.com Delta Live Tables • Framework for building data processing pipelines • You define transformations and DLT manages: • Orchestration • Cluster management • Monitoring • Data quality (Expectations) • Error handling • Can perform CDC with APPLY CHANGES INTO .. FROM ..

25. inteligencija.com MLflow • Framework for managing machine learning lifecycles • MLflow Tracking – tracks experiments and runs, parameters, metrics • MLflow models – storage format for describing models of different “flavors” (e.g. sklearn, keras, xgboost etc.) • MLflow Projects – package code in a format to reproduce runs on different platforms • Model registry – manage models in a central repository
