TheSequence - ♦️⚡️♦️ Databricks' New ML Announcements
Was this email forwarded to you? Sign up here 📝 EditorialDatabricks has been one of the companies that have been at the center of the big data movement, pioneering technologies such as Apache Spark. Machine learning (ML) has been a native component of Spark since the early days, and, as a result, Databricks, little by little, has become an important force in the ML space with stacks such as MLflow. Last week, at its Data + AI Summit, Databricks unveiled a series of new releases that significatively enhance the ML capabilities of its platform. Databricks’ ML announcements are about what Databricks does well: scalability and operational management. MLflow 2.0 was the highlight of the new releases, with capabilities that streamline the management of ML models’ lifecycle. Serverless Model Endpoints allow the serving of ML models as serverless functions, simplifying the infrastructure requirements for real-time ML applications. Model Monitoring is another addition to the Databricks stack that provides key performance metrics about the runtime behavior of ML models. Other complementary releases include capabilities such as Project Lightspeed, which simplifies the data streaming experience in Spark clusters. Databricks is known as a big data infrastructure company, but this week it made it clear that ML is a central element of its value proposition. Given the massive distribution of the Databricks platform, we should expect relevant adoption of these new ML capabilities. 🔺🔻TheSequence Scope – our Sunday edition with the industry’s development overview – is free.
