Using Catalogs for a Well-Governed and Efficient Data Ecosystem

The ability to enforce data management controls at scale and reduce the effort required to manage data pipelines is critical to operating efficiently. Capital One has scaled its data management capabilities and invested in platforms to help address this need. In the past couple of years, the role of “the catalog” in a data platform architecture has transitioned from just providing SQL to providing a full suite of capabilities that can help solve this problem at scale. This talk will give insight into how Capital One is thinking about leveraging Databricks Unity Catalog to help tackle these challenges.
