Pedestal × Databricks

Turn your lakehouse into business outcomes.

You've built a powerful Databricks lakehouse. Pedestal turns it into answers, decisions, and action — without adding another notebook your business teams won't touch.

We know how Databricks actually gets used.

Databricks is where your most valuable, hardest-to-replicate data lives — clean tables curated by your data engineers, governed through Unity Catalog, queried by your data and ML teams. It's also where the line between "data exists" and "the business uses it" gets drawn.

  • Unity Catalog as the source of truth for governance and lineage
  • Notebooks and jobs that data teams maintain, business teams don't open
  • A growing backlog of business questions waiting on engineering bandwidth

The value is in the lakehouse. The bottleneck is everything around it.

You didn't invest in Databricks so business decisions could still take three weeks. But that's the gap most teams hit.

Every business question becomes a data engineering ticket.

Operators wait days or weeks for answers a notebook could produce in minutes — if they could write one. The lakehouse becomes a queue.

Dashboards expire faster than they ship.

By the time a Databricks dashboard answers last quarter's question, the business is already asking the next one. Most leaders never open them.

ML investment doesn't reach the operator.

Models live in Databricks. The decisions they should drive happen in spreadsheets, calls, and emails — disconnected from the data that should inform them.

Your data team is the floor, not the ceiling.

Skilled engineers spend their week answering routine questions instead of building new capability. The whole org runs at the speed of the smallest team.

What Pedestal unlocks on top of Databricks.

Pedestal sits on top of your lakehouse and turns it into something the rest of the business can actually use — without compromising the governance you've built.

1

Answers in minutes, in plain English.

Leaders ask questions the way they actually think. Pedestal grounds the answer in your Unity-Catalog-governed data and shows its work.

2

Proactive insights, not just on-demand queries.

Pedestal watches your lakehouse and surfaces what changed, what's anomalous, and what deserves attention — before someone has to think to ask.

3

Operational decisions, grounded in the lakehouse.

The data that drove your ML investments now drives day-to-day calls — pricing, scheduling, customer outreach — without requiring a new dashboard.

4

Your data team gets their week back.

Routine questions stop landing in their queue. They go back to building durable capability instead of running ad-hoc queries.
