The best tools for AI-Powered data science. The best platform for data. No compromise.

Databricks + Posit (2x Developer Tools Partner of the Year) brings together the open-source tools data scientists prefer with the governance, compute, and data intelligence your organization requires. Develop in R and Python, connect natively to Unity Catalog, and deploy models, apps, and dashboards without fragmenting your workflow or duplicating your infrastructure.

Move faster from data to insight with Databricks and Posit

  • Develop faster

    Work in your preferred IDE (Positron, RStudio, VS Code, or Jupyter) with built-in native Databricks integration. Workbench simplifies connection via OAuth and unified authentication, enabling immediate access to data and compute without credential or environment setup. Positron, Posit's next-gen IDE, features a data explorer, plot history, and a context-aware AI assistant, all fully Databricks-compatible.

  • Deliver insights

    Easily deploy Shiny, Streamlit, Quarto, APIs, and scheduled jobs to Posit Connect, leveraging Databricks data/compute. Orbital converts scikit-learn/tidymodels pipelines to SQL for faster ML inference directly in Databricks without data movement. Connect's Usage Metrics Dashboard monitors engagement and identifies unused content.

  • Govern at scale

    Posit-deployed assets benefit from enterprise-grade governance flowing from Databricks. Posit Connect delegates viewer identity to Databricks Unity Catalog via OAuth, enforcing row and column-level security so viewers only see authorized data. Posit Package Manager provides curated, validated R and Python packages with vulnerability scanning and reproducible snapshots.

  • The integration between Posit and Databricks has been particularly valuable. We’ve successfully used Posit Connect to pin and retrieve models from Databricks, enabling real-time applications like market share simulations. This interoperability ensures that our workflows remain fluid, without duplicating infrastructure or compromising on performance.

  • We needed a solution that would empower us to create applications, services, and work products capable of tackling complex actuarial challenges. Our goal was clear: find a platform that could bring all of this together seamlessly.

  • Historically, contractors manage jobsite safety based on lagging indicators and adjust their process in response. We knew we could do better. By leveraging data, artificial intelligence and predictive analytics, we decided to proactively identify where risk exists on our projects and how we can eliminate that risk.
