Databricks Cloud

Databricks Cloud was renamed - Databricks now calls it Databricks Data + AI Platform, as of June 2015.

Databricks Cloud → Databricks → Databricks Unified Analytics Platform → Databricks Unified Data Analytics Platform → Databricks Lakehouse Platform → Databricks Data Intelligence Platform → Databricks Data + AI Platform

The original name of Databricks' hosted, zero-management Apache Spark platform, unveiled at Spark Summit 2014 with notebooks and cluster management built in.

• Launched on June 30, 2014 in the same press release as a $33 million Series B, so the product and the money to build it arrived on the same day. 🔗
• Its July 2014 intro post still lives at /blog/2014/07/14/databricks-cloud-making-big-data-easy, even though the post's own title now reads "Databricks: Making Big Data Easy": the URL remembers what the headline forgot. 🔗
