Migrating to Serverless: The Databricks Journey

The future of the data intelligence platform is serverless, and Databricks is leading by example. We aren’t just telling customers to migrate; the Data Platform team is actively moving our own mission-critical ETL and BI workloads to Databricks Serverless SQL and Compute first. This session chronicles our internal migration journey. We will share the raw “before and after” metrics on cost, latency and engineering overhead. We will be transparent about the challenges we faced as early adopters and the specific best practices we developed to run a massive-scale, serverless-first platform that powers the business.
