Description

SafeGraph used the Databricks Data + AI Platform, Delta Lake, Delta Sharing and MLflow to process petabytes of geospatial data and feed predictive models, achieving 2x-10x faster spatial querying, indexing and partitioning and a 50% reduction in peak memory consumption compared to other platforms, while reducing data access time for partners from months to minutes via Delta Sharing.

Problem

Working with petabytes of historical geospatial data, SafeGraph's lean team of engineers was challenged with massive volumes of data and incomplete data sets; processing high volumes of information while accurately analyzing the nuances of each data set was time-consuming and resource-intensive, and the team found that cloud storage was not an ideal place to write or manage such massive data sets.
