The Databricks Data Intelligence Platform dramatically simplifies data streaming to deliver real-time analytics, machine learning and applications on one platform.
Enable your data teams to build streaming data workloads with the languages and tools they already know. Simplify development and operations by automating the production aspects associated with building and maintaining real-time data workloads. Eliminate data silos with a single platform for streaming and batch data.
Build streaming pipelines and applications faster
Use the languages and tools you already know with unified batch and streaming APIs in SQL and Python. Unlock real-time analytics, ML and applications for the entire organization.
Simplify operations with automated tooling
Easily deploy and manage your real-time pipelines and applications in production. Automated tooling simplifies task orchestration, fault tolerance/recovery, automatic checkpointing, performance optimization, and autoscaling.
Unify governance for all your real-time data across clouds
Unity Catalog delivers one consistent governance model for all your streaming and batch data, simplifying how you discover, access and share real-time data.

Streaming data ingestion and transformation
Simplify data ingestion and ETL for streaming data pipelines with Delta Live Tables. Leverage a simple declarative approach to data engineering that empowers your teams with the languages and tools they already know, like SQL and Python. Build and run your batch and streaming data pipelines in one place with controllable and automated refresh settings, saving time and reducing operational complexity. No matter where you plan to send your data, building streaming data pipelines on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform ensures you don’t lose time between raw and cleaned data.
“More business units are using the platform in a self-service manner that was not possible before. I can’t say enough about the positive impact that Databricks has had on Columbia.”
— Lara Minor, Senior Enterprise Data Manager, Columbia Sportswear
Real-time analytics, ML and applications
With streaming data, immediately improve the accuracy and actionability of your analytics and AI. Your business benefits from real-time insights as a downstream impact of streaming data pipelines. Whether you’re performing SQL analytics and BI reporting, training your ML models or building real-time operational applications, give your business the freshest data possible to unlock real-time insights, more accurate predictions and faster decision-making to stay ahead of the competition.
“We must always deliver the most current and accurate data to our business partners, otherwise they’ll lose confidence in the insights . . . Databricks has made what was previously impossible extremely easy.”
— Guillermo Roldán, Head of Architecture, LaLiga Tech
Automated operational tooling
As you build and deploy streaming data pipelines, Databricks automates many of the complex operational tasks required for production. This includes automatically scaling the underlying infrastructure, orchestrating pipeline dependencies, error handling and recovery, performance optimization and more. Enhanced Autoscaling optimizes cluster utilization by automatically allocating compute resources for each unique workload. These capabilities along with automatic data quality testing and exception management help you spend less time on building and maintaining operational tooling so you can focus on getting value from your data.
Next-generation stream processing engine
Spark Structured Streaming is the core technology that unlocks data streaming on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform, providing a unified API for batch and stream processing. Databricks is the best place to run your Apache Spark workloads with a managed service that has a proven track record of 99.95% uptime. Your Spark workloads are further accelerated by Photon, the next-generation engine compatible with Apache Spark APIs delivering record-breaking performance-per-cost while automatically scaling to thousands of nodes.
Unified governance and storage
Data streaming on Databricks means you benefit from the foundational components of the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform — Unity Catalog and Delta Lake. Your raw data is optimized with Delta Lake, the only open source storage framework designed from the ground up for both streaming and batch data. Unity Catalog gives you fine-grained, integrated governance for all your data and AI assets with one consistent model to discover, access and share data across clouds. Unity Catalog also provides native support for Delta Sharing, the industry’s first open protocol for simple and secure data sharing with other organizations.
Integrations
Provide maximum flexibility to your data teams — leverage Partner Connect and an ecosystem of technology partners to seamlessly integrate with popular data streaming tools.
