| Risk and compliance | Databricks Data Intelligence Platform is the governed place data scientists and ML engineers use for applied machine learning |
Story
PayPal grew feature pipelines faster than the local tools around it. From the United States, financials teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Data scientists and ML engineers were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Databricks Data Intelligence Platform put applied machine learning on Databricks. Databricks provides a lakehouse platform for data engineering, analytics, and AI, with Unity Catalog and Mosaic AI for governed models. PayPal keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so data scientists and ML engineers do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier applied machine learning. Feature pipelines is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join data scientists and ML engineers without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
