Databricks adds new SQL Analytics Workspace and Endpoint features, consolidating its acquisition of Redash and bolstering its "data lakehouse" marketing push.

Databricks has launched a fully managed Postgres database for building data-intensive applications and AI agents, throwing down a challenge to long-time database leaders such as Oracle and Microsoft.

The company achieved a $350 million annual revenue run rate in the third quarter of 2020. With SQL Analytics, Databricks looks to resolve the data warehouse vs. data lake debate in the big data world.

In a demo, Ghodsi showed me what the new SQL Analytics workspace looks like. It’s essentially a stripped-down version of the standard code-heavy experience with which Databricks users are familiar.
