A Cloud-Optimized Platform Powered by Apache Spark™
Databricks Runtime is the core of the Databricks Unified Analytics Platform.
Built on top of a highly-optimized Spark cluster, it increases data processing performance by up to 5x.
Databricks IO
Leverages a vertically integrated stack to optimize the I/O layer and processing layer to significantly improve performance of Spark in the cloud.
Databricks Serverless
A serverless architecture that democratizes infrastructure through the auto-configuration and scaling of compute resources — enabling best-in-class performance at dramatically lower costs.
Fully Managed in the Cloud
A cloud-native platform that abstracts the complexities of big data infrastructure, resulting in a highly elastic, reliable and performant platform to build innovative products.
Databricks Runtime outperforms other compute engines:
Than Vanilla Apache Spark on AWS
(secs — lower is better)
Than Apache Presto on AWS
(secs — lower is better)
Than on-premises Impala via Cloudera
Databricks helped us deliver a new feature to market while improving the performance of the data pipeline ten-fold. Today, it powers our entire production pipeline with multi-terabyte Spark clusters.
