Data and analytics service Databricks<\/a> today announced that it has acquired Redash<\/a>, a company that helps data scientists and analysts visualize their data and build dashboards around it.<\/p>\n

Redash\u2019s <\/a> customers include the likes of Atlassian, Cloudflare, Mozilla and Soundcloud and the company offers both an open-source self-hosted version of its tools, as well as paid<\/a> hosted options.<\/p>\n

The two companies did not disclose the financial details of the acquisition. According to Crunchbase<\/a>, Tel Aviv-based Redash never raised any outside funding.<\/p>\n

Databricks <\/a> co-founder CEO Ali Ghodsi told me that the two companies met because one of his customers was using the product. \u201cSince then, we\u2019ve been impressed with the entire team and their attention to quality,\u201d he said. \u201cThe combination of Redash and Databricks<\/span> is really the missing link in the equation \u2014 an amazing backend with Lakehouse and an amazing front end built-in visualization and dashboarding feature from Redash to make the magic happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Databricks, this is also a clear signal that it wants its service to become the go-to platform for all data teams and offer them all of the capabilities they would need to extract value from their data in a single platform.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only are our organizations aligned in our open source heritage, but we also share in the mission to democratize and simplify data<\/span>\u00a0and AI so that\u00a0data<\/span> teams and more broadly, business intelligence users, can innovate faster,\u201d Ghodsi noted. \u201cWe are already seeing awesome results for our customers in the combined technologies and look forward to continuing to grow together.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the Redash acquisition, Databricks also today announced the launch of its Delta Engine, a new high-performance query engine for use with the company\u2019s Delta Lake transaction layer.<\/p>\n

\u201cDatabricks<\/span>\u2019 new Delta Engine for Delta Lake enables fast query execution for data<\/span> analytics and data<\/span> science, without moving the data<\/span> out of the data<\/span> lake,\u201d the company explains. \u201cThe high-performance query engine has been built from the ground up to take advantage of modern cloud hardware for accelerated query performance. With this improvement, Databricks<\/span> customers are able to move to a unified data<\/span> analytics platform that can support any data<\/span> use case and result in meaningful operational efficiencies and cost savings.\u201d<\/p>\n
