Got Metrics? Build a Metric Store — A Tour of Developing Metrics Through UC Metric Views

I have metrics, you have metrics — we all have metrics. But the real problem isn’t having metrics, it’s that the numbers never line up, leading to endless cycles of reconciliation and confusion. Join us as we share how our Data Team at Databricks tackled this fundamental challenge in Business Intelligence by building an internal Metric Store — creating a single source of truth for all business metrics using the newly-launched UC Metric Views. Imagine a world where numbers always align, metric definitions are consistently applied across the organization and every metric comes with built-in ML-based forecasting, AI-powered anomaly detection and automatic explainability. That’s the future we’ve built — and we’ll show you how you can get started today.
