Unified. Open. Scalable.

The Databricks Data Intelligence Platform is built on lakehouse architecture, which combines the best elements of data lakes and data warehouses to help you reduce costs and deliver on your data and AI initiatives faster.

Built on open source and open standards, a lakehouse simplifies your data estate by eliminating the silos that historically complicate data and AI.
