Unifying Data Delivery: Using Databricks as Your Enterprise Serving Layer

This session will take you on our journey of integrating Databricks as the core serving layer in a large enterprise, demonstrating how you can build a unified data platform that meets diverse business needs. We will walk through the steps for constructing a central serving layer by leveraging Databricks’ SQL Warehouse to efficiently deliver data to analytics tools and downstream applications. To tackle low latency requirements, we’ll show you how to incorporate an interim scalable relational database layer that delivers sub-second performance for hot data scenarios. Additionally, we’ll explore how Delta Sharing enables secure and cost-effective data distribution beyond your organization, eliminating silos and unnecessary duplication for a truly end-to-end centralized solution. This session is perfect for data architects, engineers and decision-makers looking to unlock the full potential of Databricks as a centralized serving hub.
