Operational Impact
The implementation of the Databricks Lakehouse Platform has resulted in several operational benefits for Carvana. The platform has enabled the NGCP team to manage the complex dependencies and scale of its data pipelines more effectively. The use of Delta Live Tables has allowed the team to build scalable and testable pipelines, improving the efficiency and reliability of their data operations. The platform has also provided several technical improvements, including data lineage visibility and real-time alerts for delayed events, enhancing the team's ability to monitor and manage their data operations. Furthermore, the use of Databricks SQL Serverless and Delta Lake at the data warehouse level has improved the speed for real-time analytics use cases, enabling Carvana data engineers to access accurate data with very low latency. | |
Quantitative Benefit
Reduced full table scans and data extraction from BigQuery has saved Carvana approximately $500,000 a year in data warehouse costs. | |
