For our inaugural Databricks North East meet-up, we are excited to be hosting Thor List, Senior Field Engineering Manager at Databricks. Thor will give a brief history of the evolution of the Databricks platform over the last few years followed by a more in-depth description of recently released features and finally a view of what is expected in the coming year.
