About us
Databricks UK is a practitioner-led community for the people building on the Databricks platform: data engineers, analytics engineers, data and platform architects, ML engineers, Databricks Champions and MVPs, and technical leaders responsible for data platforms.
We focus on how Databricks actually gets built, run and scaled in real organisations. We run in-person meetups, hands-on hackathons and build sessions, and roundtables for senior practitioners, and we prioritise practical experience.
Databricks UK is run by Colibri Digital, a Databricks Silver Partner & Community Stack in partnership
Whether you're new to the platform, running it in production, or setting data strategy for your organisation, you're welcome here.
