Analytics · Azure Databricks

Accelerate data and AI
with Azure Databricks.

Unify data engineering, analytics, streaming and AI on one open lakehouse, secured the Azure way. We have built and run Databricks platforms from a single workspace to enterprise estates.

When Databricks fits

The right engine for serious data engineering

Databricks earns its place when the data is big, varied or fast, the engineering is real, and AI is on the roadmap rather than a slide.

Large or multi-domain estates

Many sources, many teams and many domains, each needing its own space under one set of rules.

Heavy engineering and streaming

High-volume batch and streaming pipelines, with Spark doing the work and declarative pipelines keeping it maintainable.

Machine learning and AI

Feature engineering, model training, serving and governed AI on the same data the reports use.

Open formats, no lock-in

Delta tables in your own storage account, readable by Fabric, Power BI and any other engine that speaks Delta.

Smaller estate, or Power BI is the main destination? Microsoft Fabric may fit better.

How we deliver it

From empty subscription to governed lakehouse

Every Databricks platform we build follows the same path, and each step has an Xcelerator behind it, so you start from proven code rather than a blank workspace.

  1. Foundation

    DatabricksXcelerator

    • VNet-injected workspaces
    • Private Link and Azure Firewall
    • Entra ID single sign-on
  2. Ingest

    DataXcelerator and Lakeflow

    • Metadata-driven loads into Bronze
    • Auto Loader for files and streams
    • Incremental by default
  3. Model

    Medallion lakehouse

    • Declarative pipelines to Silver and Gold
    • Kimball or Data Vault, as fits
    • Data quality expectations
  4. Serve

    Wherever insight is used

    • Power BI and AI/BI dashboards
    • Genie Agents and Databricks SQL
    • Models and AI services

Governed by Unity Catalog throughout

  • Access, row filters and column masks
  • Lineage from source to report
  • Audit in system tables
  • Asset Bundles through DEV, TEST and PROD
The same pattern scales from one domain to many: each team gets its own catalog and pipelines, under one metastore and one set of rules.
What we build

Everything from pipelines to AI

Lakehouse engineering

Medallion lakehouses on Delta Lake, with Lakeflow declarative pipelines, Auto Loader and incremental processing.

Governance with Unity Catalog

Catalogs, privileges, row filters, column masks and lineage designed once and applied everywhere.

Databricks SQL and AI/BI

SQL warehouses for analysts, AI/BI dashboards and Genie Agents, and Power BI on the Gold layer.

Machine learning and AI

MLflow experiments, model serving and governed AI services, built on the same tables as your reporting.

DevOps

Databricks Asset Bundles and CI/CD in Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions, so every change is reviewed and repeatable.

Cost and performance

Serverless where it pays, cluster policies where it does not, and table maintenance that keeps queries fast.
