• Service Bus: Connect on-premises and cloud-based applications and services to implement highly secure messaging workflows
• API Management: Publish your APIs securely for internal and external developers to use when connecting to backend systems hosted anywhere
• Event Grid: Connect supported Azure and third-party services using a fully managed event-routing service with a publish-subscribe model that simplifies event-based app development
• Azure Functions: Simplify complex orchestration problems with an event-driven serverless compute platform
• Azure Data Factory: Visually integrate data sources to construct ETL and ELT processes and accelerate data transformation, using 90+ pre-built connectors to manage data pipelines and support enterprise workflows
• Azure Databricks: Databricks integrates with a wide range of data sources, developer tools, and partner solutions.
• Data sources: Databricks can read data from and write data to a variety of data formats such as CSV, Delta Lake, JSON, Parquet, XML, and other formats, as well as data storage providers such as Azure Data Lake Storage, Google BigQuery and Cloud Storage, Snowflake, and other providers.
• Developer tools: Azure Databricks supports various developer tools that allow you to work with data through Azure Databricks clusters and Databricks SQL warehouses by writing code. These include IDEs, connectors and drivers, IaC platforms, CI/CD tools, CLIs, REST APIs, and authentication methods.
• Partner solutions: Databricks has validated integrations with various third-party products such as Fivetran, Power BI, Tableau, and others, that allow you to work with data through Azure Databricks clusters and SQL warehouses, in many cases with low-code and no-code experiences. These solutions enable common scenarios such as data ingestion, data preparation and transformation, business intelligence (BI), and machine learning. Databricks also provides Partner Connect, a user interface that allows some of these validated solutions to integrate faster and easier with your Azure Databricks clusters and SQL warehouses.
