Databricks SQL Warehouse

What Databricks SQL Warehouse is

Databricks SQL Warehouse is a cloud service for working with data in a lakehouse environment. It supports data lakes while keeping storage and compute separate, allowing those resources to be managed independently. Streaming ingestion is included for ongoing data flows. The service runs through the web and uses a paid model with usage-based billing options. Pay as you go charges only for products used, measured at per-second granularity, with no upfront costs. Committed Use Contracts may provide discounts and other benefits based on committed usage levels. Neither plan lists a price, and there is no free plan. The listed deployment model is cloud, so the offering is presented as an online service rather than local software. Databricks was founded in 2013 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California. These details make the service relevant to organizations planning lakehouse workloads with separate resource management and streamed data ingestion.
