TOP TEAMS SUCCEED WITH DATA INTELLIGENCE

benefits

Lakehouse storage that’s flexible and fast

Eliminate data management headaches with open table formats, centralized governance and automatic data optimizations.

Compatible formats

A single copy of source data in Delta Lake or Apache Iceberg™ can be read in any engine.

Unified governance

A single control plane for data discovery and governance, across all your data and AI assets.

AI-driven performance

AI-powered models autonomously optimize and maintain data for speed and low cost.

Features

Your data, your way

Choose the storage location and open format that works for you. Keep your data portable, without vendor lock-in.

Full support for Delta Lake, with data loads and queries that run up to 1.7x faster than with other storage formats.

Read the paper

Best-in-class read performance for Iceberg tables, out of the box, with storage optimizations not available in any other lakehouse.

More about managed Iceberg tables

Query Iceberg tables that are managed by external catalogs like Glue and HMS, without having to migrate tables or metadata.

More about foreign Iceberg tables

Unity Catalog’s Iceberg REST Catalog API implementation solves interoperability across engines and catalogs.

More about using external systems

A fully managed storage location that lets you create workspaces without managing cloud infrastructure, so you can get started with Databricks faster and easier than ever before.
