Key Features
BigML
- • GUI and REST API for the full ML lifecycle with reproducible resources
- • AutoML and ensembles
- • Time series anomaly detection clustering and topic modeling
- • WhizzML to script and share pipelines
- • Versioned immutable resources
- • Organizations with roles projects and dashboards
Databricks
- • Lakehouse storage and compute that unifies batch streaming BI and ML on open formats for cost and portability across clouds
- • Collaborative notebooks and repos that let data and ML teams build together with version control alerts and CI friendly patterns
- • SQL Warehouses that power dashboards and ad hoc analysis with elastic clusters and fine grained governance via catalogs
- • MLflow native integration for experiment tracking packaging registry and deployment that works across jobs and services
- • Vector search and RAG building blocks that bring enterprise content into assistants under governance and observability
- • Jobs and workflows that schedule pipelines with retries alerts and asset lineage visible in Unity Catalog for audits
Use Cases
BigML
- → Stand up a governed ML workflow
- → Automate repeatable training and evaluation with WhizzML
- → Detect anomalies for risk monitoring
- → Forecast demand with time series
- → Cluster customers and products
- → Embed predictions through the REST API
Databricks
- → Build governed data products that serve BI dashboards and ML models without copying data across silos
- → Modernize ETL by shifting to Delta pipelines that handle streaming and batch with fewer moving parts and clearer lineage
- → Deploy RAG assistants that search governed documents with vector indexes and access controls for safe retrieval
- → Scale experimentation with MLflow so teams compare runs promote models and enable reproducible releases
- → Consolidate legacy warehouses and data science clusters to reduce cost and drift while improving security posture
- → Serve predictive features to apps using online stores that sync from batch and streaming pipelines under catalog control
