Better Together
Databricks transformed how you manage and process data.
Analytics costs are the next challenge.
Databricks excels at data processing but struggles at the Silver and Gold layers of the Medallion architecture where data scientists need ad-hoc analytics, and business users demand fast business intelligence. These workloads require high performance yet can create unpredictable DBU costs.
This forces data engineers to limit access, leaving business users without self-service analytics, IT teams handling manual requests, and performance tradeoffs slowing innovation.
Optimizing the Silver and Gold Layer
Keep Databricks for what it does best: data processing and storage.
Add Yellowbrick for high-performance, value-driven analytics where your users need it most.
