Unified platform simplifies end-to-end processes with intuitive data access solutions
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
Unity Catalog is a feature I am currently using extensively. I am migrating many projects to Unity Catalog. MLflow, which I use for model registering and creating the lineage of models, is also valuable.
Additionally, Databricks serves as a single platform for conducting the entire end-to-end lifecycle of machine learning models or AI ops. I don't need to switch between various tools, making it an all-encompassing solution for development and research. I use the lake house and utilize features effectively.
What needs improvement?
There has been a significant evolution in databases. One area of improvement is the Databricks File System (DBFS), where command-line challenges arise when accessing files. Standardization of file paths on the system could help, as engineers sometimes struggle.
It would be beneficial to have utilities where code snippets are readily available. This would allow engineers to easily click a snippet and import it into the notebook, enabling quick modifications to variables or paths for fetching files, such as reading data from DBFS files. If I could right-click to copy absolute paths or to read files directly into a data frame, it would standardize and simplify the process.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used the solution for five years plus.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate stability seven to eight out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I would rate scalability seven to eight out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
I do not have any issues that require support. Many resources are available online.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
I use infrastructure as code on the cloud to deploy the infrastructure. I have all the Git repositories and code repositories for deploying the code and models in the workspace. My setup includes a shared workspace, shared clusters, and integration with Unity Catalog.
What about the implementation team?
I have a team of 100 engineers working with me, and I head the Center of Excellence (COE).
What was our ROI?
I believe it is competitive across clouds. When it comes to big data processing, I prefer Databricks over other solutions. Cost-wise, it is very competitive. The setup process is straightforward, thanks to the use of Spark clusters. This allows for faster turnaround times with Databricks.
What other advice do I have?
The product rating is nine out of ten.
Databricks serves as a single platform that can handle numerous end-to-end machine learning tasks. The configuration is simple, scalability is excellent, and monitoring cluster utilization facilitates informed business decisions.
It's easy to schedule jobs, pipelines, and handle multiple use cases in parallel, providing countless benefits.
