Databricks is a company founded by the creators of Apache Spark, that aims to help clients with cloud-based big data processing using Spark.[1][2]

People

Databricks grew out of the Amplab project at University of California, Berkeley that was involved in making Apache Spark, a distributed computing framework built atop Scala. Its co-founders are:[1]

History

In September 2013, Databricks announced that it had raised $13.9 million from Andreessen Horowitz and said it aimed to offer an alternative to Google's MapReduce system.[1][3]

In April 2014, MapR, a big data analytics company, announced a partnership with Databricks to distribute and support the Apache Spark platform.[4]

Databricks was in the news again in June 2014, when it was reported that it had raised a $33 million Series B, led by New Enterprise Associates, along with additional investment from Series A investor Andreessen Horowitz.[2][5][6] Along with the funding announcement, the company announced the launch of Databricks Cloud, a cloud computing solution with three main parts: the Databricks Platform, Spark and the Databricks workspace. Although Databricks Cloud would initially be designed to run on Amazon Web Services, the company said they would eventually make it compatible with the Google Compute Engine and Microsoft Azure.[2]

Relation with Apache Spark

Databricks, founded by the team that created Spark, is closely involved with the development of Apache Spark, an open-source project incubated by the Apache Foundation.[7] It is also one of the platinum sponsors, alongside Amazon Web Services, IBM, and SAP SE, of the Spark Summit, an annual conference for developers who use Spark.[8][9]
