Databricks as Data Platform

Category: Data Platform Platform: Databricks Tags: platform, architecture decision, databricks

Context

For data mesh, a self-serve data platform is required. We don’t want to build this completely by outselves, but want to tailor an existing data platform to our data mesh needs.

We use Microsoft Azure for our operational systems. We are a regulated company in the finance sector. We rely heavily on Tableau for our reports.

Decision

We use Azure Databricks as our central data platform, similiar to the tech stack described on datamesh-architecture.com.
