Databricks is a cloud database Platform-as-a-Service for Spark, supported on Azure and AWS Cloud Services.
Databricks provides both a filesystem and a database. Depending on your environment and needs, you configure connections to the tables in a Databricks database or to the files in a remote Databricks File System (DBFS). Both methods require that you specify properties in the Connect execution profile file, a JSON file you create that contains Databricks deployment parameters and allows you to run Connect jobs in a distributed cluster.
