Integrating engineering and learning, but cost challenges arise with cluster management
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
Having one solution for everything, from data engineering to machine learning, is beneficial since everything comes under one hood.
What needs improvement?
We often use a single cluster to ingest Databricks, which Databricks doesn't recommend. They suggest using a no-cluster solution like job clusters. This can be overwhelming for us because we started smaller.
We prefer using a small to mid-sized cluster for many jobs to keep costs low, but this sometimes doesn't support our operations properly. We need to stay in sync with the DVR versions, and migrations can pose challenges. For example, issues arose when we moved a cluster from a previous version to the latest one. We could use their job clusters, however, that increases costs, which is challenging for us as a startup. Maintaining this infrastructure can be a headache.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have worked at a couple of companies, not just the current one, and I have about 20 to 25 months of experience with Databricks.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
They release patches that sometimes break our code. These patches are supposed to fix issues, but sometimes they cause disruptions.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The patches have sometimes caused issues leading to our jobs being paused for about six hours. Fortunately, nothing important is currently running on Databricks, however, if there were, it would be a significant issue.
How are customer service and support?
They are good. My company has a contract with them that includes good support. Whenever we reach out, they respond promptly.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
What was our ROI?
With the benefits we receive, the price is reasonable. However, it's important to have good use cases. If it's just for data ingestion, it might not be the best solution price-wise. For a lot of different tasks, including machine learning, it is a nice solution.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate the solution seven out of ten. That rating also depends on how we have the contract with Databricks.
It's still a solid and good rating. I work as a data engineer and Databricks engineer.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
From raw data to actionable insights in record time
What do you like best about the product?
Databricks has the great ability to handle streaming data and integrate with Kafka. This is an essential feature for our organisation as we used Databricks to enhance our real time fraud detection system in the financial service sector. This has improved security and reduced fraud activities. The real time processing capabilities were also a crucial feature for our use case. Databricks also support multiple languages development, which is a key benefit for our organisation as we have both Python and Scala developers.
What do you dislike about the product?
During a critical phase of the project, we faced few challenges while optimising our Spark jobs. The user interface for cluster management could be improved, as we occasionally face delays when scaling clusters to handle large workloads.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our logistic team used Databricks to optimise delivery routes by analysing traffic patterns, fuel consumption and delivery time. By optimising all these things we almost reduced delivery time by 20% and saved significant cost.
