Unity Catalog (UC) enables governance and security for all data and AI assets within an enterprise’s data lake and is necessary to unlock the full potential of Databricks as a true Data Intelligence Platform. Unfortunately, UC migrations are non-trivial; especially for enterprises that have been using Databricks for more than five years, i.e., 7-Eleven. System Integrators (SIs) offer accelerators, guides, and services to support UC migrations; however, cloud infrastructure changes, anti-patterns within code, and data sprawl can significantly complicate UC migrations. There is no “shortcut” to success when planning and executing a complex UC migration. In this session, we will share how UCX by Databricks Labs, a UC Migration Assistant, allowed 7-Eleven to reorient their UC migration by leveraging assessments and workflows, etc., to assess, characterize, and ultimately plan a tenable approach for their UC migration.

The Delta Lake architecture promises to provide a single, highly functional, and high-scale copy of data that can be leveraged by a variety of tools to satisfy a broad range of use cases. To date, most use cases have focused on interactive data warehousing, ETL, model training, and streaming. Real-time access is generally delegated to costly and sometimes difficult-to-scale NoSQL, indexed storage, and domain-specific specialty solutions, which provide limited functionality compared to Spark on Delta Lake. In this session, we will explore the Delta data-skipping and optimization model and discuss how Capital One leveraged it along with Databricks photon and Spark Connect to implement a real-time web application backend. We’ll share how we built a highly-functional and performant security information and event management user experience (SIEM UX) that is cost effective.
