Unlocking Data Value: 84.51°'s Journey with Databricks Unity Catalog

84.51° is a retail data science, insights, and media company that helps Kroger and other organizations create personalized experiences for shoppers. Powered by cutting-edge science, we leverage 1st-party retail data from nearly half of U.S. households, totaling over 2B transactions annually. Our Unity Catalog deployment had audacious goals, including Data Governance, Domain Design, Data Mesh, and Composable Architecture. Like an iceberg, implementing Unity Catalog can seem as trivial as creating a data catalog in Databricks. The depth and breadth of our Unity Catalog deployment are more far-reaching, with the impact felt across the enterprise and beyond. Join us in this session to understand how Unity Catalog contributed to the 84.51° and Kroger Data Strategy Vision by maximizing the value of enterprise data assets, meeting both present and future requirements.
