Transforming Data Management With Databricks: A Success Story

In 2019, Frontier Airlines began a transformative journey with Databricks, enhancing data management. Key achievements include developing an algorithm for the Quarterly Origin and Destination Report, reducing processing time from 80 man-hours to two hours with 99% accuracy, and automating child seating, saving thousands of man-hours. They transitioned from Synapse to Databricks, achieving better economics and scalability, and fully committed to Databricks in January 2023, projecting annual savings of $165,000. Future plans include democratizing data with Unity Catalog, enhancing real-time data processing with Structured Streaming and Delta Live Tables and reducing complexity with serverless compute. This partnership exemplifies how technology can drive significant business transformation.
