The complexity involved with migrating and launching new data and analytics use cases in the cloud has been a significant barrier for businesses. Digital transformation has proven to be a highly intensive effort requiring expensive and difficult to hire data engineering and data science talent. DataFoundry accelerates the implementation of cloud analytics projects using Databricks by applying automation, delivering complete solution integration, and providing abstraction to accelerate time to insights while making your data lake more reliable with Databricks.

"Databricks Unified Analytics Platform and Infoworks DataFoundry integrated together brings the Databricks technology and the power of Delta Lake to a wider audience looking to operationalize their analytics workloads in the cloud," said Pankaj Dugar, Vice President of Business Development and Technology Partners at Databricks. "Organizations can seamlessly leverage the powerful capabilities of Delta Lake and Apache Spark for their data pipeline processing that makes their data lakes reliable with higher quality data."

As a no-code data operations and orchestration system, DataFoundry makes the development of data workflows in support of complex analytics projects possible even for organizations without data engineers. The EDO2 system eliminates the need for hand-coding data ingestion, data pipelines and workflows that run on the Databricks engine, while providing built-in lineage, monitoring, auditability and governance required for enterprise data operations and orchestration. The beta rollout is planned for September, with general availability expected in November. Learn more at Infoworks.io (https://www.infoworks.io)
