Databricks is a unified data lakehouse platform that empowers customers to efficiently process, store, manage, and analyze large volumes of enterprise data. It combines data lake storage with data warehouse analytics in a single platform, allowing customers to establish an open data lake for storing structured, unstructured, or semi-structured enterprise data. Databricks integrates directly with cloud object storage, converting raw data into Delta Tables and stored in Delta Lakes, where customers can manage and catalog the data, configure ETL pipelines, build data warehouses, and execute SQL/relational queries. The platform provides features such as Unity Catalog for governance, Data Warehousing for interactive query capabilities, Data Engineering for pipeline management, Data Streaming for near real-time processing, and Data Science and ML for building AI models. To implement log and event analytics in Databricks, customers can use the platform's capabilities to ingest security log data into an open data lake, pipeline it into Delta Lakes, and apply schema. They can also utilize additional software tools like Hunter or ChaosSearch to support their cybersecurity needs. The key challenge of log and event analytics on Databricks lies in balancing the need for deep analytics capabilities with the limitations of shipping data outside of cloud object storage, which can result in high costs and reduced viability for long-term log analytics use cases.
